When God Exchanges Pain for Purpose with Davey Blackburn | Episode 209

No More Perfect Podcast with Jill Savage

 What do we do when life seems to fall apart at our very fingertips? Can God still use even the terrible experiences for good in some way?

In this conversation, we are talking about why no experience is ever wasted in God’s economy. And my guest, Davey Blackburn, knows this personally.

In 2015, Davey Blackburn’s life was turned upside down when his pregnant wife, Amanda, was murdered in a home invasion. The unthinkable happened and Davey had to pick up the pieces of their broken life while caring for their 18-month-old son.

As a high-profile criminal case unfolded over the next several years, Davey took on the seemingly impossible task of finding the strength to restore his shattered soul. He is now the founder and director of Nothing is Wasted, a ministry dedicated to helping others navigate trauma, tragedies, and major life transitions.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • How God meets us in our pain
  • How the work of healing occurs in a process
  • The importance of forgiveness being a choice, not a feeling
  • And so much more...

I hope you are encouraged by this conversation, especially if you are in the midst of loss or difficult life circumstances.
