We’re honored to share time here together with Tim Challies. Tim’s firstborn and only son, Nick, died at college in 2020 after suddenly collapsing while playing a game and there is no diagnosis still to this day.
When we look on at the suffering of others, it’s so easy to feel the weight and think we could never make it through something similar ourselves. But one thing Tim so graciously reminds us is that none of us have the grace to walk through things until we’re in the moment. We tend to imagine the grief but not the grace.
Tim takes our hand and leads us through a “Manifesto” he wrote as a means to cry out to the Lord and call himself back to what was most important in the depths of his grief. Step by step, he walks us through. And maybe, just maybe, it might give you words or a template to fill in your own words, for your own seasons of grief.
Here is Tim’s website where he has been blogging since 2003.
