In this episode, I share a deeply personal post I wrote a few months ago while grappling with the overwhelming grief of losing my dad. As emotional as it was to write and now to read, this experience taught me more about God's love than any Sunday School lesson ever could.

Join me on this journey of navigating loss, finding faith, and discovering unexpected lessons in love and resilience. I hope it speaks to you. Enjoy!
