  • UPDATED WEEKLY

There is a place most of us were never taught to stay in. Between the grief and the glory. This podcast is for the Christian who is still believing, still showing up, still carrying more than anyone around them knows. Host Paris Byrum — spiritual mentor, trauma-informed soul guide, and founder of Between Grief & Glory — creates space to slow down, tell the truth, and walk with God through the places that don't resolve quickly. Healing is not meant to be rushed. And you were never meant to walk this alone. www.betweengriefandglory.com

    Episode 4: When God Goes Quiet — What the Church Forgot to Tell You

    🤍 Join us for ⁠⁠⁠Seen in the Wilderness — May 13 & 14 ⁠⁠⁠(free, live)  💌 Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠Notes from the In Between⁠⁠⁠ ✞ Learn more & go deeper: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Between Grief & Glory Website⁠⁠ If prayer has felt hollow lately. If Scripture feels like words in a foreign language. If you have gone through the motions of your spiritual life for months — feeling nothing. Not peace. Not warmth. Not the quiet assurance you used to know. You have not lost your faith. You have hit a wall. And the church largely forgot to tell you this was coming. In this episode, Paris opens a brand new series — Through the Wall — exploring one of the most disorienting seasons in the Christian life. The season where the old ways of praying stop working. Where God feels distant or worse — unkind. Where trying harder only makes it worse. This season has a name. It has ancient company. And you are not failing. The shepherd does not remove the valley. He walks through it with you.

    Episode 3.5: I Am Still in the Wilderness Too: On Triggers, Trust, and Learning to Stay With Yourself

    A bonus episode before the series continues — because too many messages have been arriving that could not wait. In this episode, Paris gets honest about where she is right now — not from a place of having arrived, but from the middle of something tender and unresolved. She talks about what it actually looks like when a trigger hits, why the spiral of "I should feel differently by now" is not the same as faithlessness, and what it means to learn how to name your pain without collapsing into it. This conversation is for anyone who has found themselves reacting before they could think, spiraling into self-accusation, or wondering why God feels far when their body feels loud. Also: one final invitation to Seen in the Wilderness — a free, live, two-day guided experience on May 13th and 14th — before the next series begins. Not fixed. Just further. And further is enough. → Register for Seen in the Wilderness: https://www.betweengriefandglory.com/Seen-in-the-Wilderness → Between Grief & Glory: betweengriefandglory.com

    Episode 3: This Is Why Nothing Has Worked Yet—and What's Different About This

    🤍 Join us for ⁠⁠⁠Seen in the Wilderness — May 13 & 14 ⁠⁠⁠(free, live)  💌 Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠Notes from the In Between⁠⁠⁠ ✞ Learn more & go deeper: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Between Grief & Glory Website⁠⁠ You have tried the programs. Done the Bible studies. Sat in counseling. Pressed through. And something still has not moved. This is not because healing is impossible for you. It is because the approach was never matched to the actual problem. In this episode, Paris gets honest about why most of what we have been given — good, well-intentioned, even scripturally sound — has not reached the places that actually need to be reached. And what is genuinely different about slowing down, being accompanied, and letting something be seen for the first time. If you have been tired of trying things that almost work — this one is for you. The shift does not come when your circumstances change. It comes when the question you are asking changes.

    Episode 2: It's Not That You Don't Want to Heal… It's That You Don't Know What Will Happen If You Look

    🤍 Join us for ⁠⁠Seen in the Wilderness — May 13 & 14 ⁠⁠(free, live)  💌 Subscribe to ⁠⁠Notes from the In Between⁠⁠ ✞ Learn more & go deeper: ⁠⁠⁠Between Grief & Glory Website⁠⁠ You heard last week's episode and something in you exhaled. Yes. That is exactly it. And then — quietly, almost immediately — something else showed up alongside that recognition. A hesitation. A pulling back. A part of you that thought: I want this. And I am not sure I am ready to look. That is exactly where we are going today. Because the thing keeping you from healing is not weakness. It is not a lack of faith. It is not stubbornness or resistance. It is protection. And it deserves to be understood — not pushed through. In this episode, Paris walks gently into one of the most honest questions in this work: What if I open something I cannot close? If you have been circling this for a long time — wanting to heal, but afraid of what looking might cost you — this episode is for you. You do not have to be ready. You just have to be willing to be present.

    Episode 1: I Did Everything I Was Taught… and It Still Didn't Change Anything

    🤍 Join us for ⁠Seen in the Wilderness — May 13 & 14 ⁠(free, live) 💌 Subscribe to ⁠Notes from the In Between⁠ ✞ Learn more & go deeper: ⁠⁠Between Grief & Glory Website⁠⁠ You have been praying. Showing up. Doing everything you were taught to do. And something still hasn't moved. This first episode of Lament & Light is for the woman who is not burned out from giving up — but from keep going. The one quietly asking: what is wrong with me? Host Paris Byrum opens the space with honesty — naming why this podcast exists, what Between Grief & Glory was built for, and why the patterns you keep living aren't evidence of weak faith. They're evidence that something in you has never been fully seen. Because the gap between what you believe and what you're living isn't failure. It's an invitation. If you've been sitting in what feels like Saturday — and no one around you has language for it — you're in the right place. Come as you are. Healing is not meant to be rushed.
