Nothing Is Wasted: Davey Blackburn's Journey from Pain to Purpose 55:17

What happens when one person's darkest tragedy becomes a beacon of hope for countless others? Davey Blackburn joins us to share his powerful story of unimaginable loss and unwavering faith. In 2015, Davey's pregnant wife, Amanda, was tragically shot during a home invasion. He recounts the heart-wrenching discovery and the initial hope for her survival, offering an intimate look at his journey through the aftermath. Through his harrowing experience, Davey emphasizes that pain is a universal human experience and encourages listeners to find resilience in their own struggles. Navigating his profound loss, Davey faced the daunting question of how a loving God could allow such suffering. Surrounded by a community of strong faith, he found solace in their collective belief in God's goodness. A divine moment with the song "Nothing is Wasted" reminded him that even in the most tragic circumstances, there is potential for redemption and purpose. Drawing parallels to Amanda's talent for transforming discarded items into treasures, Davey shares how he believes God repurposes our pain for a greater purpose. In the journey towards healing, Davey learned to confront his grief head-on, encouraged by a timely message from Pastor Levi Lesko to "run toward the roar." This transformative experience led him to create the "Nothing is Wasted" book and the "Pain to Purpose" curriculum, designed to help others navigate their valleys of grief. Davey's path also led to forgiveness and restorative justice, showcasing the power of faith and community in overcoming tragedy.
