198. 8:28 Hope in the Darkness -- Karen Hacker

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Are you familiar with the verse Romans 8:28? Sometimes this verse can be misconstrued so let me read it to you: The NIV version says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” I am excited today that we are going to talk more about this verse on the podcast.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Also, I cannot wait for you to meet Karen Hacker. We met through Saddleback Church, and she runs the Empty Arms Ministry — that is the ministry I attended after the loss of my baby. She is going to share a little bit about her story. October 15^th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. For so many of us, this is part of our story, so I like to do an episode each year and highlight God’s faithfulness in the middle of this unexpected storm. I am excited for this episode. You are going to learn so much from Karen about grief, what to say, what not to say, and we are going to dive deeper into that verse Romans 8:28.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Depth Podcast Episode Recommendations:</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --></p> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href= "https://jodirosser.com/depth-podcast-episode-5-inspiring-story-yvonne-buck/"> Episode 5</a>: Episode with Yvonne Buck where I share about my miscarriage.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href= "https://jodirosser.com/depth-podcast-episode-6-in-heavenly-arms-dr-shari-bridgman/"> Episode 6</a>: Episode with Dr Shari Bridgman who wrote the Empty Arms Curriculum</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href= "https://jodirosser.com/196-honestly-share-your-story-and-help-another-hurting-heart-clarissa-paz/"> Episode 196</a>:  Episode with Clarissa and how I shared my story with her and helped her through her miscarriage.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <p><!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Book Recommendations:</p> <p><!-- /wp:parag
