(By the way, computer-generated transcripts are terrible at spelling names. There are several versions of Mattie and Pete's names in the transcript for this episode, but the correct spellings are Mattie Jackson-Smith and Pete Greig. AI is NOT going to take over the world, at least until it learns to spell!)
Mattie Jackson Smith's World Was Shattered
Just shy of her one-year anniversary with her husband Ben, a seemingly small accident left her widowed and wondering where God was. Her story is full of grief, pain, and loss, but lands on hope and a future full of God's kept promises. Her book Lemons on Friday is one of the best books on finding your way through grief I've ever read, and Mattie is on the podcast today to give you hope!
Mattie's podcast is incredible: In Joy Life
