Summary
In this episode of the Hope Mommies Podcast, Jennie Parks sits down with Katie Bordelon, founder of We Are Disciples Co., for a heartfelt conversation about suffering, discipleship, and knowing Christ more deeply through loss. After the unexpected deaths of her twins, Scarlet and Jackson, at 19 weeks gestation, Katie found herself walking a road she never would have chosen. One baby was stillborn, and the other lived for nearly an hour before being welcomed into the arms of Jesus. Through that devastating loss, Katie began to discover that suffering is not an interruption to the Christian life but something God often uses to draw us closer to Himself. Together, Jennie and Katie discuss how grief reshapes our understanding of God, how suffering changes the way we read Scripture, pray, worship, and trust Christ, and the difference between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him. They also talk about God's presence in seasons when He feels distant, the grace available on days when opening your Bible feels impossible, and the powerful role that hearing other loss stories and connecting with other grieving parents can play in helping us find hope and feel less alone. If you are walking through grief and wondering where God is, struggling to reconcile your pain with your faith, or trying to understand how to keep following Jesus when your heart is broken, this conversation will remind you that there is no rushing through grief, and that Christ is present with you in every step of the journey.
