When Pastor Jonathan Pitts took his wife, Wynter, into his arms for their anniversary dance, he had no idea that within a month she’d unexpectedly die at the age of 38. The former executive director of Dr. Tony Evan’s ministry, “The Urban Alternative,” he shares how he and his four grieving daughters found comfort through singing their favorite hymns together and by simply being there for each other. In this intimate and heartfelt tribute to Wynter’s life, Pastor Jonathan calls upon us to live fearlessly and never to assume we know God’s plan.
