Suffering, Trust in God, and Faith Growth After Loss: A Walk with God Through Adoption and Grief

Season 1, Episode 4000:33:06Published November 18, 2025

In this tender conversation, I sit down with Carol as she shares the story of adopting Moise, a little boy with complex medical needs, and the long road their family walked through loss, caregiving, and grief. We talk honestly about suffering, trust in God, and the kind of faith growth that happens when you are living one day and one minute at a time.

Carol opens up about the hard decisions, the seasons of waiting, and what it looked like to surrender her will to God while still showing up with love. She also shares what life with God has looked like after Moise’s passing, including the ache of losing a child, the untangling of identity, and the steady hope of heaven. If you are facing real-life challenges, this episode is a gentle reminder that God is near, and he is still at work.
