52. Grief and Loss Through a Faith Lens

Have you ever noticed that we don't really know how to approach talking about grief ESPECIALLY in the faith world and believer circles? We often end up sharing seemingly helpful thoughts like "well at least they aren't in pain anymore" or "we believed for healing... but she wasn't healed" or "he's serving in his highest calling as an angel now" which can often do more harm than help.

Ever since my mom passed away, I've been faced with how to bring believing in a God who heals and does miracles together with the reality that there is death and unanswered prayers in our world.

How do we continue to believe in healing when our prayers for healing weren't answered like we thought?

How the God see death?

How do we as believers get grief right... and get grief wrong?

Does death mean we weren't spiritual enough or didn't have enough faith?

How can we wrestle with God about grief?

These are just a few of the questions that I was honored to navigate in this message I gave at a conference a few months back. It was such an incredible time that I knew I needed to release the recording here for the podcast.
