Refined - Turning Pain Into Purpose

"If God is so good, why do I experience pain?"

Many questions haunt us when our life is interrupted by sudden loss and the resulting grief. In "Refined: Turning Pain into Purpose," Todd helps us see that there is a purpose for the pain that we experience.

After the death of his daughter, Todd worked at a refinery, melting down broken jewelry and making it useful again. One day, as he was pouring gold into a crucible, it occurred to him that this process of refining mirrored the process of grief.
