Jill Biden returned to the South Carolina Baptist church last week where she says she began to repair her relationship with God following her son's death from brain cancer six years ago.

The first lady quietly flew to West Columbia for a surprise appearance at the 50th anniversary celebration for Pastor Charles B. Jackson Sr. of Brookland Baptist Church. But she ended up giving one of the most extensive explanations yet of how her faith wavered after Beau Biden's death and how she found her way back to God with help from her "prayer partner" - Robin Jackson, the pastor's wife.
