Making Peace with Questions You May Never Get Answers To

What do you do with the questions that never get answered? In this solo episode, I share the question that haunted me during my son’s final days — “How could this be the best thing for him?” — and how learning to surrender that question became part of my healing. We talk about daily surrender, the mystery of faith, and the comfort found in Revelation 21:3–4 — the promise that God will wipe away every tear and make all things new. If you’re a man navigating grief, carrying silent questions, or trying to hold onto faith in the middle of deep pain, this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Mentioned: * Revelation 21:3–4 * The space mystery creates for faith 🙌 If this episode speaks to you, share it with a friend.
