Author and priest Liz Tichenor lost her mom and her baby in the same year. Brand new to leading a church and reeling from the grief, the pain was enough to break her. But it didn’t—because other people carried her through. 

In this conversation, Kate and Liz discuss:

• How in the thick of tragedy we need the church and shared rituals of grief
• How to be faithful and authentic when going through the “unimaginable” 
• The courage it takes to show up for another in the midst of their worst days (and why we are called to do so… no matter how uncomfortable) 
• Why Lent is the season for the brokenhearted

This episode will restore your hope for communities of faith that can show up for our most tender moments.
