Kent Hansen kindly agreed to talk to us about the most painful episode of his life, the loss of his wife. Beyond the sadness, it is a discussion rich in emotion and lessons for us all. 

"The fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" (Genesis 22:7).

No one has ever seen God, but the One who knew Him before He was born on this earth taught us all to address Him in prayer.
