Author: Jonathan Pitts and Christian Parenting May 10, 2021 Duration: 35:29

In this episode, Jonathan interviews Ginger Gilbert Ravella,  a military wife and widow, mother of five, stepmother of two, writer and international speaker.  At 36 years old, she faced the sudden tragic loss of her college-sweetheart husband in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the horrors that quickly followed. Ginger shares her story, sudden loss, and the overwhelming nature of the life she found herself living.

 

Ginger answers the question, “How has God rescued you?” sharing the depth and darkness of her anxiety and depression and shares how it has built a heart of compassion in her for those going through similar pain. 

 

Scriptures

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:15-16 NIV

 

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Psalm 37:4
