In this deeply moving episode of Besties with Breasties, hosts Sarah and Beth, joined by co-host Jamie and special guest Pastor Patti Kirkland, explore one of life’s most profound topics — death, faith, and the Christian belief in eternal life.

With honesty and compassion, Pastor Patti shares how her personal experiences with grief and loss have shaped her understanding of hope, eternity, and God’s promises. Together, the group unpacks the fear surrounding mortality and reveals how faith can transform that fear into peace, purpose, and perspective.
