What does it look like to choose gratitude when your heart is shattered? How do you say "thank you" when nothing feels good? In this raw and tender episode, we’re diving into the tension between grief and gratitude—and how both can live in the same heart. This isn’t about pretending everything is fine or forcing a smile through the tears. It’s about learning to anchor yourself in God’s goodness even when life doesn’t make sense.

In this episode, Britton George engages in a heartfelt conversation with JoBeth Evans, a certified grief recovery specialist, who shares her profound journey through loss and grief after the death of her husband. JoBeth recounts the rollercoaster of emotions she experienced, from the initial shock of her husband's terminal diagnosis to the slow deterioration of their life together. Throughout the conversation, they explore the role of faith in navigating grief, the importance of community, and the hope that can be found even in the darkest times. JoBeth emphasizes the necessity of clinging to God during trials and the comfort that comes from knowing His character, even when circumstances seem unbearable.

Here’s the truth: you don’t have to fake it with God. You don’t have to ignore the ache or hide your heartbreak behind perfect Christian platitudes. God isn’t asking you to show up joyful—He’s inviting you to pour out your real emotions at His feet. Every tear, every question, every ounce of sorrow is safe with Him. Gratitude in grief doesn’t mean denying your pain; it means choosing to see that even in the valley, He is still with you.
