S10E3: Where is God When Life is Tough? (Eric Schumacher and Jessika Sanders)

It’s one thing following Jesus when life is peachy and the road is smooth - but what about when we face obstacles and hurdles? How do we help our kids navigate life with God when their prayers go unanswered, or it feels like he is distant from them? Helping us navigate this sensitive topic today are authors Eric M. Schumacher and Jessika Sanders. With experience of medical emergencies and miscarriage, Jessika and Eric share what it’s like to walk through a dark season, how we can support families who are struggling, and how we can nurture our own kids’ faith when there are no glib answers.
