The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele

Losing a son with Andrew Barry

Dominic Steele Season 2 Episode 6

Andrew Barry lost his son Nathan to cancer just over two years ago. Here he shares his heart about the journey that God has worked in his marriage and among their remaining five children over the last two years. 


We talk through how he has grown in his relationship with God, the cycles of grief, counselling, how different family members reacted, how it’s impacted his teaching and preaching and opportunities for ministry.


Andrew serves alongside his wife Ruth on the ministry team at Janalli Anglican Church in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire.
