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

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)

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

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

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. 💛

24a| Struggling to Hear God? How Silence Before the Lord Changes Everything!

Struggling to Hear God? How Silence Before the Lord Changes Everything
When grief overwhelms you, does God feel distant? Do your prayers feel empty, as if they’re met with silence? You’re not alone. In this episode, we explore the power of stillness before the Lord—how choosing silence can deepen your faith, bring peace in the storm, and open your heart to hear God more clearly.
Through personal testimony and biblical wisdom, we’ll look at Revelation 8:1, where even heaven pauses in silence before God. If stillness is a sacred act in heaven, what could it mean for your journey through grief? Learn how surrendering to God’s presence, rather than striving for answers, can transform the way you navigate pain and loss.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why silence before God is a powerful act of trust in the midst of grief
How stillness creates space to hear God’s voice more clearly
Practical steps to incorporate silence into your faith journey for greater peace
Key Takeaways:
Silence is an act of trust. Choosing to be still before God is a way of surrendering control and resting in His presence. (Psalm 46:10)
Stillness allows you to hear God. Like Elijah in 1 Kings 19, God often speaks in a gentle whisper—but we must quiet our hearts to listen.
God fights for you in the silence. When we stop striving, we allow Him to work on our behalf. (Exodus 14:14)
If you’re struggling to hear God in your grief, take this as an invitation to sit in His presence. He is near.

23| Feeling Isolated in Your Grief? What Pixar’s Lilo & Stitch Teaches Us About Loss and Belonging

Feeling Like an Outsider in Your Grief? What Pixar’s Lilo & Stitch Can Teach Us About Loss, Faith, and Found Family
Have you ever felt like grief has made you an outsider—like people don’t know what to say, so they just keep their distance? Maybe you feel like the weight of your loss has changed you so much that even your closest friends don’t quite understand anymore. If so, you’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re drawing lessons from Lilo & Stitch, a movie that unexpectedly mirrors the realities of grief. Lilo, a young girl who lost her parents, struggles to connect with her peers and navigate life without the support she once had. Her sister, Nani, is thrown into adulthood too soon, trying to hold everything together while grieving herself. Their story reflects so many of our own experiences—feeling different, carrying unseen burdens, and wondering if we’ll ever feel whole again.
Through this conversation, we’ll explore how grief changes our relationships, why people may not always know how to respond, and how God meets us in our loneliness. You’ll walk away with a renewed perspective on grief, faith, and the found family God provides to walk with us through loss.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why grief can make us feel isolated—and how to navigate that loneliness.
How Lilo & Stitch highlights the struggles of grief, loss, and unexpected responsibilities.
Three powerful lessons on faith, community, and living in alignment with our values after loss.
Key Takeaways:
People may not always know what to say, but that doesn’t mean they don’t care. Instead of assuming silence means indifference, give grace and invite trusted friends into your healing journey.
Holding onto our values keeps us anchored. When grief shakes everything, our faith and core beliefs can help us stay grounded.
God provides found family in our grief. Even when we lose loved ones, He surrounds us with people who will walk with us through healing.
