400 - Losing Natasha

When Nadim Ednan-Laperouse lost his daughter Natasha to a severe allergic reaction on a plane, his world shattered in an instant. In his own words - “that moment was beyond what any parent could imagine, a grief that felt impossible to survive. Yet even in the deepest darkness, something extraordinary happened.”

Nadim describes seeing a vision of light, angels hovering above Natasha’s body, and later, through unimaginable pain, encountering the presence of God for the first time. That encounter set him on a journey from the depths of anger to finding peace and a belief in God.

In time, Nadim would do something he never thought possible: look into the eyes of the man he once blamed for his daughter’s death and say the words, “I forgive you.” Not through gritted teeth, but with a changed heart.

Since that day, Nadim and his wife Tanya Ednan‑Laperouse have campaigned tirelessly for food-allergy safety and policy change. They founded the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation @natashasfoundation in June 2019, which funds research and campaigns to prevent and cure allergic disease.

399 - The Performance

@loalaman shares a moment with his five-year-old daughter that revealed something deeply true about all of us - our longing to be seen. Jesus’ invitation was never about earning approval, it was about resting in belovedness. “I go to prepare a place for you” John 14:3 - not a job, not a title, but a place. A place where we don’t have to perform, because we already belong.

Lo Alaman is a poet, an artist and a founder of Urban Hymnal, a creative collective aiming to foster deep connections among believers and with God through the power of story. Lo lives in Houston Texas with Erika and their 2 children Emmy & Mav.

472 - God, Where Are You?

Rich shares about walking through illness, disappointment, and the tension of following God when life doesn’t look the way we hoped it would. Reflecting on suffering, faith, and the ‘dark night of the soul,’ he reminds us that pain is not always proof that something has gone wrong. Sometimes, transformation is born right in the middle of it. The symbol of our faith is a cross and somehow, through suffering, God still brings new life.

471 - A Want To Want To Forgive

468 - What Are We Worth?

Simon shares a powerful reframing of worth not being something we earn, prove, or build, but something already declared at the cross. For so many of us, worth feels tied to what we achieve or bring, yet this story points to a love that moved first, long before we had anything to offer. Your value isn’t measured by your success, your past, or what others think but it’s defined by the lengths love went to bring you home.

Simon has written several books on spiritual life and biblical theology, including Amazed by God, More, and Inside Out. Simon is married to Tiffany with two sons, Joel and Nat.

464 - Comparison

Ebie honestly shares about her own journey with the quiet weight of comparison, not just to others, but to the version of herself she thinks she should be.
