Bonus Ep | Wave of Light 2026

On October 20, 2026, Bridget's Cradles hosted our annual **Wave of Light candlelight vigil** at Beech Lake in Wichita, Kansas, honoring babies in Heaven through an evening of remembrance, worship, and hope. This special bonus episode of the *Cradled in Hope Podcast* shares the event program, including testimonies, worship, and the reading of babies' names in Heaven. Under this year's theme, **Heaven Is Our Home**, we celebrated the beautiful promise that through faith in Jesus, we will one day be reunited with our precious babies in Heaven. **In this episode, we shared:**  - **Opening remarks** from emcee Scott Evans and a prayer by Andrew Musgrave of Equity Bank Trust and Wealth Management, our 2026 Presenting Sponsor. - **Recognition of our Shine Their Light fundraising families**, including Kendall and Kylee Eden, recipients of the 2026 Shine Their Light Award, who shared their story of losing their daughter, Junie Bea, and honoring her legacy. - **Ashley's message, "Heaven Is Our Home,"** exploring how music can help us process grief, find healing, and worship God even in our deepest sorrow. - **A special performance by bereaved dad James Shove** of his original song, *Jealous That Heaven's Your Home*, written in memory of his son, Phoenix. - **Worship led by Nate Johnson** of Christ Church, including *I Can Only Imagine* and *Sunday Is Coming*, with Ashley making her drumming debut in honor of her dad. - **The Reading of Names of Babies in Heaven**, honoring the precious babies whose families attended or sponsored the 2026 event. This episode captures a sacred evening of remembering our babies, celebrating their lives, and finding hope in the promise of eternity. **Though our hearts ache for our babies here on earth, we have the hope of Heaven—where death is defeated, tears are wiped away, and we will be together again with Jesus forever.** **Heaven Is Our Home.** **EPISODE SHOW NOTES:** https://www.bridgetscradles.com/post/waveoflight2026 **CRADLED IN HOPE PODCAST WEBSITE:** Sign up here to receive email updates and hope-filled resources www.bridgetscradles.com/podcast **CRADLED IN HOPE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY FOR GRIEVING MOMS:** www.facebook.com/groups/cradledinhope **FOLLOW BRIDGET'S CRADLES** www.facebook.com/bridgetscradles www.instagram.com/bridgetscradles www.pinterest.com/bridgetscradles **CONNECT WITH THE HOST | ASHLEY OPLIGER** www.ashleyopliger.com www.facebook.com/ashleyopliger www.instagram.com/ashleyopliger #cradledinhope #cradledinhopepodcast #bridgetscradles [**★ Support this podcast ★**](https://www.bridgetscradles.com/donate "★ Support this podcast ★")
