Does God want us to suffer? Is everything that happens to us, good and bad, directly willed by God? Is it possible to find love and marriage after death? Today I sit down with the lovely and strong Kendra Tierney, a widowed mother of 10 who recently re-married and now boasts 14 children! We talk about death, God’s will, children, divorce vs annulment, and so much more. Join us for this moving discussion!
