190: Can Our Children Still Communicate with Us? (with Nancy Weil)

This podcast episode was sponsored by John and Tricia Ferreira in memory of their son, John Ferreira, Jr.

Laura has decided to spend a couple of weeks during the holidays to talk about whether our children can give us signs that they are around at times or are able to communicate with us in some way after they die. This can be a very controversial topic in the Body of Christ, but it is an extremely important one to tackle.

Laura does not use any titles, but she has been an ordained minister since 2009 and functioned in that role for many years previously, before being ordained. This may be important to some listeners, especially as she has spent time studying the Word of God on this topic, and shares much of what she has seen and learned over the years in the previous episode.

Today, Laura brings on Nancy Weil, who has dealt extensively with this topic for many years.

Note: If you would like to comment from theological or Biblical thoughts, please listen to episode 189 and share those thoughts there. Any comments along this line found under this episode will not be accepted.
