Grief Isn’t Clean, But God Isn’t Done with Davey Blackburn | Episode 335
In this powerful and tender conversation, Rachel sits down with Davy Blackburn, founder of Nothing is Wasted Ministries, to talk about grief, healing, and how joy can emerge even in the darkest moments. Davy’s life was forever changed in 2015 when his wife Amanda was tragically killed during a home invasion. Since then, he has walked through the messy reality of grief while discovering the profound truth that nothing is wasted in God’s hands. This episode explores the gravity of his story, the complexities of grieving while clinging to faith, and the surprising ways hope and joy have shown up along the way. Davy also shares what he would tell himself during his darkest days, what healing looks like now, and how he’s helping others navigate their own pain through Nothing is Wasted. ⚠️ Please note: this episode contains sensitive topics, including death and a violent crime. Listener discretion is advised, especially if little ears are nearby. If you’ve ever wondered whether joy and sorrow can coexist — or if God can really redeem what feels unredeemable — this conversation will meet you right where you are.
