• #50 The Resurrection of Hope: Trusting God Beyond the Pain

  In this episode of the Able Speaks Podcast, we share a deeply personal journey of grief, hope, and faith. The Bahadourian's walk through the story of their son Isaiah, who was diagnosed with a life-limiting condition, and how they found strength in God during their darkest days. From the initial shock of the diagnosis to the profound peace they experienced after Isaiah’s passing, their story is one of both heartbreak and beauty. Through this episode, we explore the raw emotions of anticipatory grief, the importance of community support, and the comfort that comes from knowing you're not alone. The Bahadourian's also reflect on how their faith was tested, how they chose to embrace their son’s life, however brief, and how God’s presence carried them through the most difficult time of their lives. This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the deepest sorrow, there is hope, and that God can use our pain for His purpose. If you’re facing a similar journey or know someone who is, this episode offers a glimpse into the power of vulnerability, support, and trusting in God’s goodness even when the answers aren’t clear.
