About this listen

Pastor Jeff shares a candid, hope-filled reminder that faith is for the everyday, even the hard days. From John 16:33 and Psalm 23, he points us to Jesus as our peace and Shepherd who leads us through the valley, sustained by Scripture, prayer, and the presence of God’s people.

He briefly walks through grief’s stages and highlights a sixth: finding meaning. Loss can sharpen our purpose as we love our families intentionally, invest in the next generation, show up for others, and say “yes” to mission. We grieve, but not without hope (1 Thess. 4).

If you are in a tender season, this conversation offers courage, hope, and practical next steps. Jeff closes by calling us to live on purpose today, putting on the armor of God, opening His Word, and asking, “Lord, how can You use me?” Because every day matters, even in the valley.
