A Conversation with Tim Challies, Nick's dad

Hope After Child Loss/The Empty Chair Endeavor

How is a parent supposed to accept and begin processing the sudden, unexplainable death of their child? Healthy 20 years don’t just die suddenly without warning or symptoms of some sort. Sadly, a phone call brought this devastating news to Tim Challies and his family on November 3, 2020. His precious son Nick, engaged to be married, and working towards a seminary degree, passed away suddenly while participating in a school activity. In this episode, Tim, a noted author, speaker, and blogger talks with me about the impact of this unspeakable loss, and how GOD shows up in our places of deepest pain and suffering to bring us hope and comfort.
As a way of processing his grief, Tim wrote, “Seasons of Sorrow”, a book that captured the first year of his grief journey from fall to summer, and is available from all major book outlets.
