Episode #13: The Shape of Love is You
The Gap of God’s allowance depicted by artist Tara Brown.
“There is no safe investment in love. If you want to avoid heartbreak...love nothing.”
“This dark corner, this SOMETHING that happened that you just don’t understand, this gap of God’s allowance, He can handle what you truly feel about it.”
Why do bad things happen to good people? And if there is a God, why does he allow it? Since losing his best friend and wife nearly 10 years ago, Jon has been wrestling with that very question. What has he discovered along the way and can it help us dig into the dark corners of our hearts and find love where we least expect it?
Jon was asked to serve as a guest speaker at New England Chapel on June 22, 2025. He reluctantly said yes. He shared his story and made sure the crowd knew he didn’t need pity, if he got emotional its because he was cracking open up his chest to share what he has learned. It’s powerful.
“I think having the courage to excavate love in the gap of God’s allowance, in those dark corners, you are going to find that he’s running to where you are. That you will meet God who was already out looking for you”
