In this special episode, Colleen Hoffman shares lessons learned from her challenging journey of watching her baby granddaughter suffer through - and ultimately die from - cancer. But this episode is anything but depressing. Colleen challenges us to look to God, raise our shield of faith, and trust Him and His definition of good during each moment of our own trials. I first heard this talk last October, but I listened to it again as I was struggling with my own thoughts & emotions during this current crisis. I knew her wisdom and hard-earned experience would be a huge help to so many of you, and I pray you will be edified in the Lord. This episode can also be found at www.teach4theheart.com/142.
