Message summary & scripture references
As we are engaging our entrepreneurial calling throughout our life, it is unavoidable that we will experience the deaths of loved ones. In those times, a deep sense of loss and depression can rush over us and cause us to stop pursuing our calling. Therefore, it is important and comforting in times of loss to see death from God’s perspective. Listen to today’s Word Training and discover that because God sees heaven as the safety net of life for believers, the death of a believer may be sad to us, but not a terrible thing for them.
