9 | Anchored by the Gospel after Losing My Baby to Cancer | Jess McClenahan

Cradled in Hope | Gospel-Focused Podcast for Grieving Moms

Join us for a conversation with Jess McClenahan about how the Gospel anchored her to hope after the loss of her 11-month-old daughter, Cora. Jess shares Cora's story of being diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer and how she clung to her faith after Cora's passing to Heaven.

In her heartbreak, Jess discovered God's character and learned to trust Him in a new and deeper way. Jess shares how she found abundant life in Christ and redefined what blessing looked like. She encourages grieving mothers to study God's Word and anchor their hearts to the hope of Jesus.

In this episode, we discussed:

• How can you trust God with the death of your child?

• Why God's wrath and our sin matters in the story of the Gospel
• Salvation and why it's our greatest need

• Why does God allow suffering?
• Putting God in a box and why that affects our ability to trust Him
• An analogy of an Earthly vs. Heavenly perspective
• Symbolic traditions in memory of your baby to bring healing
• The power of God's Word as a lifeline to survive grief
• Why sharing your story matters and can plant seeds of faith for others
