  • Turning Grief-Based Loneliness into Solitude that Heals

    Turning Grief-Based Loneliness into Solitude that Heals
    Mar 9 2026

    Grief can make us feel as though no one really understands what we’re going through. Even in a crowd, we might feel isolated. Recognizing that loneliness is part of the process can help us turn to God for the companionship we need. God doesn’t just visit us when we’re surrounded by people; He meets us in the quiet, empty spaces of our hearts. Even when we feel alone, we are never truly alone—His Spirit is with us, comforting and guiding us.

  • Is Grief Making You Angry? Find God in the Fire

    Is Grief Making You Angry? Find God in the Fire
    Feb 23 2026

    Anger in grief often comes from deep love—love that’s lost its method of expression. David didn’t hide his anger or confusion from God; he poured it out. That’s what God invites us to do too. Anger isn’t the enemy, it’s a messenger. Even Jesus felt angry when He saw death and suffering. Our anger can actually lead us toward healing if we bring it to God instead of letting it consume us.

  • Breaking Superstitions That Keep Us Stuck in Grief

    Breaking Superstitions That Keep Us Stuck in Grief
    Mar 3 2025
    During times of grief, it is easy (and sometimes tempting) to look for comfort anywhere we can get it—in a sign, a message, or someone claiming the ability to reach our loved ones. In this episode, Megs and Kelley explain why this type of comfort never lasts, what’s going on in our brains that drives us to superstition, and why true hope can only be found in Christ. When we let go of our superstitions, then we can begin to truly heal.
