Grief is one of the hardest roads we walk in life, yet it is a journey we all must take at some point. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, an unexpected life change, or the quiet ache of unspoken sorrow, grief touches us deeply. But what if we allowed ourselves to truly lament—without rushing past the pain or feeling pressure to “move on” too quickly? In this episode, Nikki Ogden and Angie Elkins dive into the raw and often uncomfortable emotions of grief, exploring how sadness can be embraced as a spiritual discipline rather than something to suppress.

Their conversation unpacks the significance of grief and lament in the Christian life, emphasizing that sadness and hope are not opposites but can exist together. They discuss biblical examples of lament, showing how Scripture gives us permission to express our deepest sorrow before God. The conversation highlights the importance of communal grief and how mourning within a faith community brings healing. 

If this conversation resonates with you, we’d love for you to share it and walk alongside others in their journey of healing!
