How do we find purpose in our pain? When Davey Blackburn's wife was murdered by strangers, he had to reconcile this tragedy with what he believed about God. But through this horrific time, he discovered a powerful truth about the goodness of God in the midst of pain.
I sit down with Davey, founder of Nothing Is Wasted Ministries, to explore the concept of finding purpose in pain and how turning to God in our darkest moments can help us see His goodness and faithfulness. We also discuss the importance of asking tough questions of God and wrestling with our doubts. Davey's vulnerability and wisdom in sharing his journey will inspire and encourage you to see God's faithfulness in every season of life.
Davey talks about the importance of rekindling dreams in times of loss and despair. His story of redemption, healing, and new beginnings with his current wife, Kristi, and their blended family will remind you that God is always at work, even when it feels like everything is falling apart. Don't miss this inspiring episode as we learn how to find hope, healing, and purpose amidst our pain.
