From Loss2Life Ministries serves as a platform to embrace moments of loss through storytelling while also sharing our life experiences, so we can all learn how to go from loss to a fulfilled life - no matter what!

From Loss2Life Ministries is founded on the biblical word found in Isaiah 61:1-3. In verse 3, the Bible says, “and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of despair.” This is the ultimate intent we hope for our listeners.
