Would God give me more than I can handle? (Raising a child with severe special needs and acknowledging our deepest need)

In the first of a two-part conversation with Jacob & Melissa Robinson, we hear their story of watching their son move from health to sickness to significant special needs in a matter of days. The Robinsons open up about their rollercoaster ride of wrestling with God throughout their new normal, the lies they’ve been tempted to believe, and whether they believe God ever gives us more than we can handle.

Life Upside Down Introduction

When life turns upside down, we can see the world from a new perspective.

No matter who you are, you have either walked through deep hardship, you are in a hard season as we speak, or you will be soon enough. Sorrow and suffering can feel deeply isolating, and it would be easy to believe that no one could possibly understand. But trust us, you are not alone. We believe every person can experience hope and joy, even in the midst of sorrow.

Hosts, Daniel and Kelly Crawford, have the privilege of walking with men and women through the valley of the shadow of death on a weekly basis through their ministry, Abel Speaks. In their own story of suffering and countless others, the Crawfords have seen the redemptive truth that God never wastes an ounce of our pain. Join them each week for authentic conversations and gospel hope for the hurting.
