Let's Talk About That

Text Us Your Questions

This month, we're diving into part two of our sermon series "Scars on the Soul" looking at the topics of grief, loneliness and estrangement; and we're doing something a little different on the Let's Talk About That podcast. Each week, we'll be inviting a local professional to join in on our Sunday sermon series conversation to offer some tangible advice and tools for navigating that week's topic. We know that these conversations surrounding scars on our soul can be challenging, and we want to provide as many resources as possible to find help, hope and healing in the midst of these struggles. Be sure to check to show notes for more information and helpful resources. You can find our full "Scars on the Soul" sermon series on our Youtube Channel at youtube.com/OrchardCC.

Today, we're excited to introduce you to Dale Tompkins, a local pastor and Christian counselor in our region, as he joins Astin Kahnk and Pastor Chip Parker for a conversation about navigating grief. Listen in as they discuss some of ways that grief can manifest in our lives, how we can allow God in to our grief, and how we can support someone who's grieving. Let's dive into today's conversation together.
