S2 4: We Grieve with Hope with Shelley Komoszewski

Today we talk with Shelley Komoszewski, a dear friend of Erin's, about her 17-year-old daughter, Emily. On December 2, 2021 Emily passed away after experiencing a heart arrhythmia just a few short days before. Shelley shares as only a mother can about Emily and her testimony of loving Jesus, loving people, and living in a way that pointed others to Him. Shelley's steadfast faith and honesty in the midst of great suffering and grieving is nothing short of inspiring. This episode shows that tears and great joy can exist together.   Shelley Komoszewski Show Notes  Emily’s Celebration of Life: https://youtu.be/QEbXr1Do0cA    Putting Jesus in His Place: The Case for the Deity of Christ by J.
