15 | Grieving with the Gospel | Casey Nestor

Join us for a conversation with Casey Nestor about grieving with the Gospel. After losing her sons Judah and Caleb, Casey found herself laying on the floor in deep grief, crying out at the foot of the Cross.

Through her tears and questions, she depended on Jesus to survive the suffering and be sanctified in His image. Because she received a cradle for her son, Casey was connected to Bridget's Cradles and has become a part of our Hope Online community. Her testimony of faith has been a source of encouragement for many grieving moms.

In this episode, we discussed:

  • Her experience receiving a Bridget's Cradle for her son, Judah
  • What attending an online support group has been like for her (and why she was skeptical at first!)
  • The importance of attending a Christ-centered support group
  • How to believe God is good even when life hurts so bad
  • Standing on the Word of God in the midst of grief and why we can't rely on our feelings or our own "truth"
  • Culture's trend of seeking "mediums" to contact their babies (and why that's dangerous!)
  • A beautiful illustration of the impact of the Gospel
  • Grieving your old self and finding a new identity in Christ in the New Year
  • Looking away from ourselves and toward helping others to find hope
