In this tender conversation on Perspectives Into Practice, I sit down with Karol as she shares the story of adopting Moise, a little boy with complex medical needs, and the long road their family walked through caregiving, loss, and grief. We talk honestly about suffering and the kind of growth in faith that happens in the hardest seasons. In this conversation: - The hard decisions and seasons of waiting, and what it looked like to surrender her will to God while still showing up with love - Life with God after Moise's passing: the ache of losing a child and the untangling of identity - How growth in faith rests on the steady hope of heaven If you are facing real-life challenges, this episode is a gentle reminder that God is near and still at work.
