When God Doesn’t Answer “Why?”: Brittany Born on Trusting Him in the Fire #christianpodcast #podcast

In this episode of Singing Through Fire, Lara talks with singer-songwriter Brittany Born about her son Caleb, who was born with multiple life-threatening medical conditions and spent his first months in the hospital. Brittany shares what it has looked like to trust God without knowing the outcome, wrestle with fear and lament, and see His faithfulness in the midst of a difficult season. She also talks about how the poems she wrote during Caleb’s hospital stays eventually became songs for her album Held, created to encourage parents walking through medical trials.
