Each year millions of teenagers in the United States lose their lives to violence and on May 29, 2018, my 16-year-old son Grant became one of those statistics. He was a victim of senseless gun violence. When I lost Grant, I was overcome with anger. How could God do this to Grant? How could he do this to me?
