When the World Feels Heavy: Faith, Health & Hope in Dark Times
In Minneapolis, two children — only 8 and 10 years old — were gunned down during Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church, and 17 others were injured. And in Charlotte, a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee named Iryna Zarutska, who fled the war for safety, was stabbed to death on a train.
These aren’t just headlines. They are lives, families, and futures cut short.
As a mom who raised my kids to be outspoken, to stand for truth, and to live their faith boldly — this week shook me deeply. In this episode, my husband and I sit down to process the grief, the fear, and the weight of it all. We talk about raising bold kids in a fractured world, how to anchor ourselves in scripture when hope feels thin, and why health matters even more in moments like these.
Because caring for our bodies isn’t vanity — it’s resilience. It’s how we keep showing up for our families, our communities, and the values we refuse to let go of.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Grief is real — and you don’t need to rush into answers.
- We live in a world where faith and truth come at a cost.
- Scripture reminds us that God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), calls us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21), and promises His victory even in trouble (John 16:33).
- Health isn’t about shrinking; it’s about staying here, strong and present, for the people who love you and the values you live for.
- Small habits — protein, sleep, prayer, movement — are daily acts of hope and resistance.
Scriptures Mentioned:
- Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.
- Romans 12:21 – Overcome evil with good.
- John 16:33 – In this world you will have trouble, but take heart.
If this week has reminded you how fragile life is, let it also remind you why your health matters. Take care of your body. Guard your heart. Stay close to God. And keep showing up — because your family, your community, and your faith need you here.
