We’ve had a very sad start to 2025. This year, we were expecting another child, but at our 21-week scan, we were shocked to be told that our baby had no heartbeat. Two days later, Emma was induced to give birth naturally. She was so brave. On February 6th, 2025, Anna Grace Kirby was born sleeping.
Although we are grieving, we do not grieve without hope, as we believe in a Saviour who loved children deeply and we are comforted knowing that Anna is now safe in the arms of Jesus.
I know I’ve already been away from YouTube for a while as I’ve been on the road doing other ministry, but as you can imagine, I’ll need to take more time off to support my wife and family, and also as we arrange Anna’s burial and funeral.
When I do return—aside from the videos I filmed before all of this happened—I hope to share some new messages (Lord willing), as I believe He has taught us a lot through this trial. I truly appreciate your patience, but rest assured, I will eventually return to my usual content aimed at unbelievers.
What has really helped—especially for Emma—is hearing from other believers who have walked through loss and how God carried them through. If you have a story to share, we would deeply appreciate it. You can comment below or write to us at
