A Closer Look
Culture At A Crossroads Season 3, Episode 2
Greg (MLA for Yorkston Sask) and Leone Ottenbreit join the show for a candid conversation about grief, overcoming tragedy, and finding hope in Jesus.
The Ottenbreits lost their son Brayden to cancer at the tender age of five. Previously considered cultural Christians, the difficult season brought the couple to a renewed faith, and taught them how to further look to God's peace.
They share what it's been like to outlive their son, how to be forgiving to those who say the wrong thing when you're grieving, and how they've continued to celebrate Brayden's legacy each and every year, pushing them to move forward.
