About this listen

Rev. Brandon Nonnemaker, Ed.D.


This sermon invites us to see grief not as something to avoid but as a doorway into God’s own heartbreak for the world. Through Jeremiah’s lament, Jesus’ startling parable, and Paul’s call to expansive prayer, we are reminded that emptiness makes room for compassion, generosity, and solidarity. When our hearts are broken open, we discover not despair but the balm of God’s healing love flowing through us for the sake of all creation.
