Episode 18 The Thanksgiving Series:Gratitude in the Face of Disappointment and Loss

Send us a text

Life’s twists and turns often leave us grappling with unexpected disappointments and profound losses. These are moments when we find ourselves wondering, “God, where are You in this?” and questioning how we could possibly find gratitude amid the pain. In Episode 18 of The Evolution of Me podcast, we’re delving into the heart of these experiences with a spirit of compassion, honesty, and hope.

This episode is designed especially for female Christian leaders who know the weight of loss—whether it’s the passing of a loved one, a shattered dream, or a life-altering disappointment. Together, we’ll journey through what it means to process these seasons with a grateful heart, while never denying the real and often painful emotions that accompany them.

We start by embracing the truth that God is not distant from our struggles.  He draws near, welcoming our honest expressions of grief, hurt, and frustration. Like a dear friend, God’s heart opens to our pain, inviting us to bring every piece of our brokenness to Him.

This episode guides you through practical ways to nurture a grateful heart amid loss, such as creating a “Memory Box” to collect comforting reminders, writing a gratitude letter, or finding one small blessing each day. Each of these steps serves as a reminder that, while our pain is real, so too is God’s faithful love.

 We get a gentle but powerful invitation to view gratitude as a path to healing, strength, and connection with God’s goodness, even in our lowest points.

Join me in exploring gratitude through the lens of faith and healing. Hopefully, you'll learn to remember that even amid pain, you are held by the One who loves you. Allow gratitude to guide you toward hope and a renewed spirit.
