No matter what you've walked through, you’ve probably had a painful experience in your life and found yourself asking: Why does God allow bad things to happen? My friend, Davey Blackburn walked through a horrific tragedy in 2015, and now, Davey is sharing his story and helping us all figure out how to navigate those questions in his brand new book, Nothing is Wasted. I just loved this conversation and I think you will too! And as a head’s up, you will likely want my miniBFFs to sit out on this one since we’re approaching some really heavy topics. . . . .
