On today's show Jenni and TJ take some time to discuss grief and loss.  Over the next several months, after the masks are taken off and life returns to "normal," each person who has been affected by the virus will come to grips with what they have lost.  Lost friends who decided not to return.  Lost opportunities.  Lost jobs.  Loss of finances or property or possession. 
Join us in the conversation as we discuss proper ways to grieve and how to help those who are experiencing loss.

On this episode the Johnson family discusses what life has been like the past few weeks with the outbreak in China.  Wonder what life in the educational world is like in China right now?  Been praying for churches in China and desire to know more about how church is currently happening?  How has all this affected teens?  All this and more will be discussed on today's podcast.
