When grief makes you feel like nobody understands you
Grief can make you feel like nobody understands what you're going through, especially when your loss looks different from everyone else's. In this episode, I’m sharing from my own experience with living grief and the loneliness that came with it, and why isolation can keep us stuck in a dark season longer than we need to be. We’ll talk about the lies grief can make us believe, the importance of Ch
Who is influencing you?

God Wants to Provide for You. Are you giving him space to show up? Are you seeking his will and provision or striving to do it on your own?

In this episode I share about some conversations that have come up with my kids lately, inspired by the toddler saying "Jesus cried", leading into a life lesson based around John 11:35 Jesus wept.Even though Jesus knew the outcome, he still grieved the death of Lazarus and it's okay for us to have "negative" emotions even when we trust God.
