Faith When the Miracle Doesn’t Come: A Dad’s Story & Why Funerals Matter | Funeral Nation 270
In this episode of The Funeral Nation Show, Ryan Thogmartin and Jamie Meredith sit down with John Edwards for a raw conversation about faith, family, and the role of funeral services when life doesn’t go the way you prayed it would.
What you’ll hear in Episode 270:
- What “faith” looks like when you don’t get the outcome you begged God for
- A husband’s perspective on walking through a long, brutal illness and loss
- A dad’s moment telling his little girl that “the angels came and got Mommy”
- Why funeral + memorial services still matter (especially for closure, community, and witness)
- The ripple effect a single service can have on hundreds of people
- The Eeron (E-E-R-O-N) Edwards Memorial Fund and the scholarship vision behind it.
