Liz Tichenor: Being Church on Our Worst Days

Liz Tichenor: Being Church on Our Worst Days

Author and priest Liz Tichenor lost her mom and her baby in the same year. Brand new to leading a church and reeling from the grief, the pain was enough to break her. But it didn’t—because other people carried her through.

In this conversation, Kate and Liz discuss:

  • How in the thick of tragedy we need the church and shared rituals of grief
  • How to be faithful and authentic when going through the “unimaginable”
  • The courage it takes to show up for another in the midst of their worst days (and why we are called to do so… no matter how uncomfortable)
  • Why Lent is the season for the brokenhearted


This episode will restore your hope for communities of faith that can show up for our most tender moments.
