On today’s episode, we’re chatting with Danielle Anderson about anchoring in God’s Word, specifically in the midst of our grief. Danielle is a speaker and teacher of women’s Bible studies. Since the loss of her son in 2013, she has been on a journey of grief and restoration. Danielle has served with The Gospel Coalition’s Women’s Training Network and contributed to the books His Testimonies, My Heritage: Women of Color on the Word of God and Joy in the Sorrow. She is married to Tedashii, a Christian hip hop artist, and they live in Atlanta with three energetic sons.
