Episode 14
She Lost Her Son and Found the Peace of God
WHEN THE WATERS RISE
Chandra Concannon’s story includes abuse, broken family, addiction, illness, disability, miscarriage, divorce, and the death of her young son.
But this conversation is not ultimately about how much suffering one person can endure. It is about the faithfulness of God in the middle of it.
Chandra shares how a childhood encounter with Jesus became an anchor through years of pain, how her son’s near drowning led her to surrender her life fully to Christ, and how God gave her a peace she could not explain when Ryan later died.
She and Jon also talk honestly about repentance, Psalm 32, forgiveness, consequences, and learning to trust God when His purposes are difficult to understand.
