It is very hard to move on after a loss or painful experience. But the hardest part of all is having the focus that you need to be able to move forward.
When Will Ramsey learned that his son had died, he was devastated. And worse, he didn’t even get to say goodbye. After that incident, Will found himself trying to pull himself out of bed every morning and getting even the simplest task done was a real struggle.
Listen in as Will relates how he found healing and what he did to honor the memory of his son while keeping his #focusforward. Rachel and Will also talk about why getting stuck can be dangerous, why we should surrender to God and let Him direct us even if the road seems terrifying, and the four cornerstones to know if we are on the path of God.
“We’re not guaranteed tomorrow, we’re not guaranteed the next five seconds. So if you’re not right with God, you need to get that relationship today.” -Will Ramsey
