- On November 3, 2020, Tim and Aileen Challies received the shocking news that their twenty-year-old son Nick had died. Tim, an author and blogger, began to process his loss through writing, which eventually led to the book ‘Seasons of Sorrow.’ During this launch event, Tim reads a brief excerpt from the book and then has a discussion with Alistair Begg and Bob Lepine about God’s purpose in and through our sorrows, reminding us that lasting comfort is something that only He can provide.

Listen to the song “In the Valley (Bless the Lord),” which is inspired by ‘Seasons of Sorrow.’ • CityAlight - In The Va...
"We've hardly gotten through a Sunday without crying, and it's most often during the singing." What a testimony, both to the reality of the loss and the value of song.
I had that phone call recently. Abba sent me here at this moment I'm an intercessor and I need someone to be one for me. 🕊👐🕊🙏
Praying with you this morning, you are not alone, the Lord hears our prayers, & knows our sorrows!
Stay in the Word of God, & continue to talk with Him, in prayer, you will get through this, we serve a Mighty God, who will walk beside you through this difficult time!
God Bless! 📖🙏🏻❤️🕯️✝️
@@toddradfordjr.3669 Thank you. He was 33. I was unable to go because of finances. I dearly desired to be there for his brothers and sister. I've had a NDE and he knew Christ even wrote devotionals for his friends on FB. So lift them up please. I'd love to have this book to give to them. Also me. 🙌 we shall see Abba may make a way. Glory to The King.
I am very sorry for your loss. I will pray that God comforts you through this difficult time. 🙏♥️🙏
I too had that phone call 2 years ago July 3rd 2020. I can only say I have been surprised by the precious peace and comfort that has sustained me and my family. Yes the sorrow was there, the shock the horror, and when it comes, always his precious presence is there comforting. I have known the Lord since I was a child. Yet I have known the greatest peace I could ever imagine since this has happened. We truly do not grieve as those who have no hope. I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you this morning and sending you a big hug from one Mama in Christ to another. ❤️🙏 It's okay to not be strong. And it's very okay to grieve. I hope you can be encouraged that though the path is difficult, you will be sustained by your heavenly father.
@@AngelicAffect by the way my son was also 33. ❤️
So sorry for the profound loss to the Challies family and the fiancé. I am thankful he was able to trust God and grieve through writing a book that will help so many people going through similar trials and losses.
Exactly for me for the first two years I would cry through the hymns at church. Now 4years later certain songs make me cry during worship
What a remarkable man Tim Challies is! He leans on HIS ABBA, HIS FATHER and he trusts HIM completely! May GOD comfort His soul for the seasons to come! GOD ALMIGHTY will bring Tim Challies out of the loss of his son Nick victoriously! I pray that Almighty GOD in HIS divine Providence will use Tim Challis mightily to GLORIFY HIM. ALMIGHTY GOD, please Bless Tim Challies and his beloved wife and his beloved daughters abundantly in each area of their lives. May GOD comfort their hearts and souls through His Word and strengthen them by the Power of the Holy Spirit who dwells within them. One day Tim Challies and his loved ones will be gathered in Heaven with our Precious Savior, the LORD JESUS CHRIST who loves us most! Glory to GOD in the Highest!!!
Pretty powerful message from a man who has given us a great example of seeing God's love through a very difficult time. All I felt was the love of Christ that only He provides.
Tim is very sound in his conviction. It is a strength in itself, to listen to his grounded proclamation, which there really isn’t any other approach, from those who are in Christ.
Good questions from Bob, and sound input as usual, from Alistair. May I add my prayers to you all. To add, Tim, to the heap of prayer you have already received. It’s super natural. It’s all from our LORD.
This reminds me of the conviction and strength demonstrated by the Amish families whom, after their own children were taken from them by a gunman at the school in Pennsylvania, they attended the gunman’s funeral, in forgiveness. That is something that can only happen if you are filled with the in dwelling spirit. True evidence that we are Christs.
Thanks be to God our Father, Jesus our Savior and our gift, the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
& Amen.

Praying for the Challie family that Lord will comfort and strengthen them 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very comforting to listen to this. Thank you Tim for your ministry.
Thank you all for this post. My heart is never without the memory and stays in the day. Always looking to tomorrow. Thank you for putting to words what I've been through.
📖🙏🏻❤️🕯️✝️
Extremely Powerful message, very meaningful thank you.
Thank you for this message. I needed to hear this at this time 😔🙏✝️
From a Mennonite pastor- Jesus' disciples were doing His will when the storm came on them. Though they didn't understand it or at first see Him, Jesus was very aware, interested, and present.
Mennonite Pastor huh?
Cultural Mennonite here as well!
Good meeting you here on UA-cam
Blessings.

This one is hard, I lost a daughter 💔
So sorry for the pain of your loss
Prayed for your focus to stay on the hope we have in Jesus & to know you’ll be with her again through Him❣️
I lost my daughter also. October 31, 2021. I understand. 💔
Praying your ❤️ may be filled with peace in the Word of God.
📖🙏🏻❤️🕯️✝️
Hi Betty, my daughter died on 11 June 2014. Not a date I will forget. I'm so sorry you lost your daughter. 💕 My daughter was 38 years old and left a husband and 3 children behind. Patrick 15 years old, Daniella 13 years old and Michael 10 years old. It is a hard daily journey. 💔 from South Africa
@@heathercloete7450 I'm sorry for your loss as well. My daughter was 25. She only wished to be married and give grandbabies. Unfortunately the Lord had other plans. She died from a rare disease. I pray to meet with her again.
I had to make a new list for this. And what a joy to have something to put in my list of "Grieving in Christ". Thank you so much. I was disappointed to not hear the song. But I just opened the description and found the link to it! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for sharing. Deeply meaningful.
Beautiful testimony
This is beautiful
It's profound how loss of a loved one can group into losses of other kinds. There's more than one way to lose a loved one, and the worst one of all is to lose them in relationship and the light of the Kingdom of Heaven. When the tender Lord of all the earth makes you the last person on earth to reach someone you love. Indeed, the need to grasp that as Sovereign and true as much as a death. Death is not a shut door for us who follow the Messiah Yeshua, the stone is always being rolled away, pushed open, and we know they live, truly live now. The joy of knowing they will never shame His name again or have the temptation to... it's there any more longing in the heart of the child of God? To never war over playing ourselves instead of the Father...ecstasy of true proportions!! To look into the face of someone who has no desire to understand that... that feels more like a dreadful death, a final nail in an unopenable coffin. Yet, still Yeshua can call forth such souls...I don't identify with the church as you speak of in this video. The churches available to us are about the look of things... not the truth of them. It breaks my heart. Yet, the gift I've been given is a family who gathers in His name and for His glory. He never leaves us orphans...I pray for those who are mourning losses that feel like they are a death of a loved one... where they wonder how the world can keep spinning when their soul seems to shatter the atmosphere of earth. For those who have to mourn the loss of someone's love, friendship or even interest. A rejected father, mother, brother, sister, child or friend. No one knows rejection like Christ... how many have rejected Him since the first soul came to be? Millions, billions? Who can know better, how to live with joy and sorrow in such loss? I pray for these... that the Stone the builders rejected will become the only solid ground beneath your feet. Shalom in the name of Yeshua the Messiah, and grace and truth to you in His great love.
This was so insightful
So tragic. I’m torn with commenting.
So what if he got a Covid shot?
It was not available at the time that Nick passed away.
@@hsh1950 thank you!
