#212 // Restless Soul After Child Loss? How to Find Peace

Friend, does your soul feel restless after loss? Maybe your mind won’t stop racing, your heart never stops aching, and no matter how tired you are, your body doesn’t find rest. I remember feeling that way after Andrew died — like nothing could quiet the storm inside me.

But Psalm 23 tells us something different: “He leads me beside still waters; He refreshes my soul.” What does that really mean when your life feels anything but peaceful?

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• Why grief makes your soul feel so thirsty and unsettled

• What W. Phillip Keller, a real-life shepherd, teaches us about “still waters”

• The difference between the world’s quick fixes and the refreshment Jesus offers

• How to let the Good Shepherd restore your soul right where you are

If you’ve been desperate for peace, this conversation will remind you — the Shepherd knows exactly where to lead you.
