In this conversation, Chris and Curtis battle with the harsh questions of who God is after loss and the questions they both have as they try to understand why God allows the hurt and the hard.
The duo discuss the personal experiences of loss and grief in their lives, as well as what Michal taught us with her story of questioning God after the loss of her child.
