What can we learn in the midst of tragic circumstances? My guest today, Lisa Appelo, reminds us that God's goodness doesn't start and stop. He is faithful and good all the time. She shares how "God reshapes what's shattered" so life can be good again. Eleven years ago, Lisa went to bed happily married to her high school sweetheart and woke up a widow and single mom. We talk about the days, months, and years following the loss of the man she'd loved since high school. But that's not all we talk about. Lisa shares how God helped her navigate through grief, and how she's now helping others navigate those unchartered waters. Thankfully, God is always there and He knows the way. I know what Lisa shares will encourage, inspire, and challenge you--so listen in while I have a chat with Lisa Appelo. By the Way...
