Britt kindly offered to be interviewed, and I am so glad she did! This chat was really encouraging.
If you don’t know Britt, she is married to Dave, and they have three kids: Beatrix (3) and twins Florence and Ambrose (17 months). She is a social worker for a youth mental health agency and a part of Providence Bayswater.
In this episode, we talked about the loss of both of her parents, her mother to cancer when she was 21, and her father to a sudden heart attack, not long after having the twins. Britt shared about becoming a Christian at 16 years old, the joys of community and learning to accept help, fighting for contentment, riding the wave of grief, grappling with doubt, and coming to trust that God meets us in our deepest need. Despite the heavy topics, this episode is surprisingly fun!
