  • 31| If God Is Good, Why Am I Hurting? Finding Hope in His Unchanging Nature
    Apr 28 2025
    If God Is Good, Why Am I Hurting? Finding Hope in His Unchanging Nature

    Grief has a way of shaking everything we thought we knew about God. If He is truly good, why does He allow suffering? Why does loss feel so unbearable? In today’s episode, we wrestle with these hard questions and explore the tension between God’s goodness and our pain.

    You’ll hear a personal story of how a well-meaning but misguided phrase led me to walk away from church—and how God gently brought me back. We’ll dive into the book of Job, where even a righteous man questioned God in his suffering, and discover the deeper truth God revealed in response. If you’ve ever felt abandoned by God in your grief, this episode is for you.

    By the end, I pray you’ll see that even when life feels unbearable, God is still good—and He is walking with you in the pain.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    • Why questioning God doesn’t mean you lack faith—it may actually strengthen it.
    • How to hold onto God’s justice even when suffering feels unfair.
    • The powerful way God redeems what feels meaningless in our grief.
    Key Takeaways:
    • God is not afraid of your “why.” He invites your honesty and meets you in your pain. (Job 40:3-5)
    • God’s justice is higher than ours. Even when we don’t understand, we can trust that He does. (Job 40:6-8)
    • God redeems what feels meaningless. When we surrender our pain to Him, He exchanges it for something of eternal value. (Job 19:25)

    You don’t have to wrestle with these questions alone. If today’s episode resonated with you, join the Faith-Based Grief Support for Women Facebook group for encouragement and community. And if this episode blessed you, please share it with a friend or leave a review—it helps more women find hope in their hardest moments.

    Remember—God is still good. Even in the pain. Even in the questions. Even when you don’t feel it. Hold onto that truth today.

  • 30| Feeling Far From God After Parent Loss? Why Your Feelings Are Lying to You
    Apr 23 2025
    Feeling Far From God After Parent Loss? Why Your Feelings Are Lying to You

    Grief has a way of making God feel distant. You pray, but it seems like your words hit the ceiling. You read Scripture, but it doesn’t bring the comfort it once did. You wonder, “God, where are You?”

    If you’ve ever wrestled with these thoughts, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: Your feelings are real, but they are not always telling you the truth. God has not left you—grief is just loud. In this episode, we’ll unpack how grief can distort your perception of God, what Scripture says about His constant presence, and how to anchor yourself in truth even when you don’t feel it.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    • Why your emotions don’t always reflect reality, especially in grief
    • How to combat the lie that God has abandoned you
    • Biblical truths to hold onto when you feel spiritually numb
    Key Takeaways:
    • Your feelings are valid, but they don’t define truth. God is with you, even when He feels far away.
    • God’s presence is based on His promise, not your emotions. He will never leave you, even in your hardest moments.
    • Grief can cloud your awareness of God, but it cannot remove Him. Keep showing up in faith, even when it feels dry.

    If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. And remember: God is closer than you think. 💛

  • 29| Does Going to Therapy Mean You Don’t Trust God? Processing Grief & Faith After Parent Loss
    Apr 21 2025
    Does Going to Therapy Mean You Don’t Trust God? Processing Grief & Faith After Parent Loss

    If you’ve ever wondered, Does going to therapy mean I don’t trust God enough?—you’re not alone. Many Christians wrestle with this question, especially when grieving. But is this belief actually biblical?

    In this episode, we’re breaking down the misconceptions around faith and therapy, looking at what Scripture really says, and exploring how God often works through people—including therapists—to bring healing. You’ll hear a personal story of how therapy changed my grief journey and why seeking help isn’t a sign of weak faith—it’s an act of surrender.

    If you’ve been struggling with grief, questioning whether it’s okay to seek help outside of prayer, or feeling like you have to carry this alone, this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and hope.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    • Why the belief that therapy = lack of faith is actually bad theology
    • How therapy can be an act of surrender and trusting God with your healing
    • Biblical truths about grief, community, and how God uses people to support us
    Key Takeaways:
    • Struggling with grief doesn’t mean you have weak faith. Even Jesus wept when grieving. (John 11:35)
    • Therapy is a tool, not a replacement for God. God often uses others to bring healing, including trained professionals. (Proverbs 11:14)
    • You are not alone in your grief. Seeking help—whether through therapy, support groups, or mentors—is part of how God provides comfort and wisdom.

    If this episode resonates with you, take a moment to pray and ask God for guidance on your healing journey. And if you know someone who needs to hear this, share it with them today. 💛

    Finding Meaning in Their Memory: Knowing Your Parent’s Life Mattered

    If you've ever wondered, “Did my parent’s life really matter?”—you are not alone. Grief can stir deep questions about meaning, impact, and legacy. In this episode, we’ll unpack how your parent’s life mattered—to you, to others, and most importantly, to God.

    You’ll discover how grief itself is proof of their significance, why their impact extends beyond what you can see, and how God’s eternal perspective gives ultimate meaning to their life. By the end, my prayer is that you’ll find peace, perspective, and a renewed sense of purpose in their memory.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
    • Why your grief is evidence that your parent’s life mattered.
    • How their impact extends beyond what you can see—even in small, unseen ways.
    • The biblical truth that their life was valuable to God, no matter what.
    Key Takeaways:
    • Your parent’s life mattered to you. The love, memories, and lessons they left behind are real and meaningful.
    • Their life impacted others. Even if their influence wasn’t widely recognized, small acts of kindness create lasting ripples.
    • God sees their life as valuable. He created them, loved them, and their existence was never random or meaningless.

    Take a moment today to reflect on their impact—write down a memory, reach out to someone who knew them, or thank God for their life. You are not alone in this.
