When life hits harder than you thought it would, what’s your posture? In this deeply personal episode of The Mantle, Michael reflects on losing his mother and the lessons her faith taught him about walking through pain with peace. He contrasts the anger and confusion he once felt with the trust and surrender he’s learning now—anchored in the promise of Romans 8:28. Through stories of his mom’s grace and Scripture’s wisdom, Michael shows that we can’t always choose our circumstances, but we can choose how we face them—with open hands, steady hearts, and a perspective rooted in God’s goodness.
