In this episode, we dive deep into the book of Job, a powerful biblical story that offers profound lessons on grief and perseverance. Job’s journey through unimaginable loss and suffering can feel all too familiar when we face our own seasons of pain. But his story is more than just a tale of suffering—it’s a testament to unwavering faith and the sustaining power of God’s presence.

Together, we’ll explore key passages from Job, uncover the truths about God’s sovereignty, and discuss how we can hold onto hope even when our world feels like it’s falling apart. I’ll share personal insights from my own experience with grief and how Job’s story helped me see that even in our most broken moments, God is still with us.

If you’re navigating a season of loss, I pray this episode encourages you to lean into God’s presence and find comfort in His unchanging love.

Grief has a way of making everything feel uncertain and heavy. It can be easy to feel distant from God, but in this episode, I share how I experienced His faithfulness like never before during my own season of loss.

We’ll discuss how to anchor yourself in God’s unchanging character, reflect on His past faithfulness, and lean into His promises when everything around you seems to be falling apart. I’ll share my personal story of loss and how I intentionally chose to lean into the Lord rather than pull away. It was in that space that I discovered a deeper understanding of His presence and love.

Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Even in the darkest moments, God is near. He hasn’t abandoned you. Remembering His faithfulness can be a powerful source of comfort and strength.

If you’re walking through grief, I hope this episode encourages you to look back at how God has carried you before and trust that He will do it again.

The holidays are often filled with joy and celebration, but for those who have lost a loved one, this season can be one of the most challenging times of the year. In this heartfelt episode, I share practical strategies and spiritual encouragement for navigating the holidays while grieving.

We’ll talk about creating new traditions, giving yourself permission to feel, and finding moments of peace amidst the chaos. I’ll also share personal stories from my own journey of loss and how I found comfort and strength by leaning into God’s presence during the holidays.

Most importantly, we’ll reflect on the hope we have in Christ—the assurance that our loved ones are with Him and that we’ll see them again. Even in the midst of grief, the holidays can be a time of healing, reflection, and drawing closer to the Lord.

If you’re facing this holiday season without someone you love, know that you’re not alone. God is with you, and His peace is available to you.
