Ep. 188: When a Baby Dies…

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 188, “When a Baby Dies…,” Kim discusses the death of the first child of David and Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba. The death of a child is often life-altering for those who love the child. What can we learn about parental grief from David? Do babies go to heaven? Join us for a discussion on these questions and more.

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 12:15-23 with 23 as the focal verse:

 

23 But why should I fast when he is dead? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me.”

WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:

 

Pray for someone who has personally experienced the death of a child.
