Recast - Grieving During the Holidays (feat. Lanta Carroll)

This week, we're re-airing a conversation we had with therapist and pastor Lanta Carroll last year about grief during the holiday season. We know that so many of us are carrying grief in a myriad of ways this year, and hope this conversation can be helpful in some small way. In the intro, Robert and Holly talk about whether or not seasonal decorations are a thing in their houses.
