Loving your spouse through seasons of heartache can be hard. Really hard. You desperately want to take the hurt away but at the same time don’t know where to start. 

Darla and I are living this today. A recent tragic loss has put us again in the tempest of heartache. We're learning new steps to take to love well through grief and loss. 

Today, we’ll tackle this topic on Take Another Step Podcast.

The holidays can be a super hard time. This is especially true for those of us walking the journey of grief. Darla and I decided to open our hearts with the hope of helping you take your own next step in your grief.

In this emotional episode, we  share the raw feelings that come with fragile firsts. We'll also talk about how to create an attitude of gratitude in grief, how to move from missing and mourning to reflecting and remembering, and share some of the lessons we've learned...and are learning even now...as we are also walking this fragile first holiday season together without Aleya.

Regardless of the loss you're experiencing today...loss of a loved one...loss of a job...loss of health...loss of a treasured relationship... or even the loss of a dream, you can find gratitude in your grief.

Join us in this special holiday episode of Take Another Step, Gratitude in Grief. It's a little longer than our typical shows but we promise it's worth investing in a listen.

We love you!
Jason and Darla

Do you struggle with questions grounded and driven by fear, self-doubt, loneliness, confusion and brokenness? 

Everyone, at some point, or at multiple points, wrestle with these questions. 

Today, we’ll tackle this common threat to our minds and hearts and give a message of hope and practical solutions to take another step. 

With over 4.2 million podcasts, you may be asking yourself...“Why are Jason and Darla launching another one?” Great question. Two reasons. First, we love podcasts. But, the second reason is really the one that got us moving on this project.  As we look around us, and we looked back at our own lives individually and as husband and wife, we see hurting people everyone. People are typically stuck in one or more of five ways...

• People are afraid so we’re going to tackle how fear often holds us back and keeps us in a prison
• People feel all alone so we’re going explore loneliness and the steps to take to build wholehearted relationships
• People are confused so we’re going to talk about how to simplify our lives to remove confusion
• People are overwhelmed so we’re going to talk about how to get focused on what matters most and remove distractions
• People are completely heartbroken and crushed so we’re going to talk about grief. We’re going to talk about sadness. We’re going to talk about walking through devastating loss and suffering, what we learned, and what we continue to learn.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 says “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” We’re here to encourage you. Just one small step today in a new direction can make all the difference.
