Holding On To Hope and Mystery After Loss with Kay Warren
WARNING: This episode contains conversations about suicide and may not be suitable for all listeners/viewers.
What do you do when your worst nightmare comes true after a painful battle with a loved one's mental illness? How do you hold the tension between hope and the mysteries of God in your life after loss?
For author, speaker, advocate and pastor's wife Kay Warren, learning to hold onto hope after losing her son Matthew while accepting the mysteries of all she did not understand was difficult. Kay and her husband, author and Pastor Rick Warren, had walked a long, difficult journey through Matthew's lifelong struggle with mental health and faced every parent's worst fear coming true when their adult son died by suicide. Kay experienced the depths of grief and sorrow as she wrestled with God to make sense of such a tragedy. But her pain has given her the opportunity to become an advocate for mental health in the church and a voice of hope for parents who are facing a similar journey.
In this honest conversation, Davey and Kay talk about how reality, grief, and hope must all co-exist together, why we need both hope and mystery as we look back on our pain, and how to deal with the shame and guilt after losing a loved one to suicide.
If you've found it hard to hold on to hope in the darkness of your suffering, this episode will light a pathway towards it.

    Why would Gods plan for your wife be to die a horrible death as a pastors wife? It wasn’t so then why did He let it happen? Yes we know the cliche Christian answers of We live in a fallen world We will have hard times But why do some people have great plans and others don’t? How can we say He is our protector if He doesn’t protect? Allowing pain to teach a lesson if it was an earthly parent we would call abuse. Your ministry is He turns all things for good but how do you tell an unbeliever God loves everyone and doesn’t have favorites?

    I am thinking about the comparison thing, I think of Saul trying to fit David with his armor, and for David, it didn't feel right, so he refused it when he was going to go and fight Goliath. We have to fight the battles with what God has fitted for us. On a side note, we met a Mark Miller from Indianapolis, a few weeks ago, he serves with a missionary organization, any way, I asked if he knew you Davy and he said, "Actually, I know his wife Kristi better as my daughters went to school with Kristi." We thought that was pretty cool and realizing that being in the family of God puts us all in close proximity. :)

    My marriage ended sadly also, but he says he still loves me and will always help me. We were married for only 6 years. But I thought he was the love of my life. As a Christian I kept trying to prove my love and kept praying for him. All the while he was moving on behind the scenes. He still wants to be involved with my son who is not his, and to financially help me but this keeps me tangled up with him. Do you just completely cut off? No access at all
