Sometimes life is hard. Harder than you'd ever want to imagine. And life ends and leaves the living alone and emptied of soul and filled with grief.  But we do not grieve without hope. Our hope lives. Hope is everlasting. And hope is real.

This week, Jack and John discuss the heartfelt words of a friend who shared the hope she felt amid her grief. Pepper Basham is a multi-published romance author who recently lost her brother. She shared her heart in two separate posts on social media and gave us permission to share them with you. Our prayer is that this episode brings hope to you if you are grieving.

"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope."1 Thessalonians 4:13
