Dr. John Neufeld on Losing His Wife: Grief and God's Sovereignty

How does a theologian respond to his own excruciating grief and God's silence? One important biblical truth gave him great comfort in the darkness. A longtime friend of Phil Callaway, Dr. John Neufeld is a world-renowned Bible teacher from Back to the Bible Canada whose beloved wife of 46 years passed away recently. There's nothing funny about losing a spouse, but thankfully, John can still laugh.

He shares openly about the pain of losing her, the struggles and questions that come with profound loss, and what it meant to keep trusting through God’s silence. His theology of God's sovereignty didn't waver, it became his deepest comfort.

This is a tender, honest conversation about grief, God's sovereignty, and the hope of heaven. If you're walking through a dark season, it will bring you real encouragement and light. Even when grief feels too heavy to carry, God carries us.
