Do you love me? Even with this situation, will you still love me? And, you know, a covenant is a choice. Just like a mirror. When they disappoint you or frustrate you. It's a choice. Do you love me? At the bottom of it all, at the end of the day, I love you. I choose you still.
What happens when life deals you a devastating blow, and your faith is shaken to its core?

She talks candidly about the founding of the Missing Grace Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting families who have lost a baby or child.
From care packages to support groups, Candy's mission is to provide the resources she wished she had during her darkest times. Her conversation with Heidi is raw and honest, delving into the depths of her sorrow and the eventual rekindling of her faith. If you've ever questioned your faith or struggled to find meaning in the face of loss, this episode offers a powerful message of hope and the transformative power of love.
