Think of a time in your life . . . maybe that time is right now . . . when you were grieving something. Maybe it was the loss of a loved one. Maybe it was the death of a dream, a betrayal . . . maybe it was even something as simple as a change in a routine. What did you do with that grief? For so many people, maybe even for you, the answer to that question is . . . nothing. And if you're honest, maybe it’s still affecting you today. That’s the reality for so, so many people – we haven’t been taught how to grieve. Grief is unavoidable so we should spend time to learn how to process it in a healthy way. 

In this episode of Doable Discipleship, host Jason Wieland is joined by Steve Carter. Steve is the best-selling author of The Thing Beneath the Thing and his latest book, Grieve, Breathe, Receive. In this conversation, Jason talks with Steve about his personal history having to learn how to grieve, how to process through a Grieve, Breathe, Receive framework (and what it has to do with Holy Week), how to grieve relationally, and so much more.
