    271. I Believe in Heaven… So Why Am I Still Struggling So Much?

    You believe with everything in you that your child is in heaven, yet you still wake up with a heaviness on your chest that won't go away.  It's the question so many grieving moms carry in the quiet: "If I really believe they are with Jesus, why does it still hurt this much?"This internal tug-of-war can leave you feeling like your faith isn't strong enough or that you're failing at a journey you never asked to be on. In this episode, we're peeling back the layers of that spiritual guilt to look at the messy middle ground where deep faith and deep sorrow coexist. You'll see why your tears aren't a sign of weak belief, but a testament to a love that was meant to last a lifetime. Inside this conversation, you'll discover: The "Spiritual Vice Grip": How the pressure to "do better" in your grief actually keeps you from the peace you're searching for. A Lesson from the Pinto: What a vintage hymnal and a broken car door taught me about surrendering the things we cannot control. The Worship of Silence:  Why the new The Resurrection of a King project by Tommee Profitt and K-LOVE is meeting grieving hearts in a way words can't. Truth vs. Sorrow: Why the hope of the resurrection doesn't actually cancel out the ache of today's absence.  Dear grieving mom, you don't have to choose between your hope in heaven and the reality of your hurt. Press play and let's sit in that space together, reminding your heart that Jesus is standing right there in the middle of the ache with you. 💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself. If you're struggling to find permission to just be you or the noise of grief feels overwhelming right now, I would be honored to sit with you in a quiet, one-on-one space.

    270. Will I See My Child Again? What the Resurrection Really Means After Child Loss

    You wake up, and it's still real. The house is quiet, the weight is still there, and your child is still not walking beside you. And in that space, it can feel like nothing has changed… like death had the final word. But what if that's not actually true? In this episode, we come to the turning point of the Easter story—the resurrection—and what it means for you right now, not just someday. Not just a future hope, but a present truth you can begin to hold onto, even in the middle of your grief. In this episode, you'll learn… what the resurrection really changed—and why it matters for your grief today how to hold both the reality of your loss and the truth that death did not win why what feels like separation is not the full story in Christ where your hope can rest when everything still feels heavy If today feels overwhelming, if your heart feels tired, or if you're struggling to reconcile what you believe with what you're experiencing… this conversation will meet you right there. You are not alone in this. God has not stepped away from you in your grief, and because Jesus is alive, there is more to your story than what you can see right now.

    269. Child Loss & the Silent Saturday: When God Feels Absent (Part 4 of 5: Easter Series)

    There is a heavy, hollow space in the Easter story that we often rush past, but for a grieving mom, it's the place where we live every day. It's the "messy middle" between the cross and the resurrection—the silent Saturday where what you hoped for didn't happen, and what you're left holding feels impossibly heavy. If you've ever felt like heaven has gone quiet since the death of your child, you are not as alone as you feel.   In this episode, we step together into that sacred, quiet space where God seems distant and the journey feels too long to endure. You'll hear a story that reminds us how a simple shift in perspective can change everything, even when the pain remains the same.   Inside this conversation, we'll explore together: The significant difference between God's silence and His absence in your grief journey. Why the "Saturday" of your story is the hardest place to sit, and how Jesus personally understands that isolation. The subtle shift that happens when you stop walking into the unknown and start walking toward home. How to find the strength to lift your head when the weight of child loss feels like more than you can bear. You don't have to figure out the "why" of the silence today. You only need to know that the road home does not lead to despair—it leads to life, restoration, and the arms of a Father who has never left your side. Take a deep breath and join me for part four of our Easter series; let's find the path home together.                 💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself. If you're struggling to find permission to just be you or the noise of grief feels overwhelming right now, I would be honored to sit with you in a quiet, one-on-one space.

    268. Death Doesn't Get the Last Word: Jesus' Choice and Your Child's Story(PT 3 of 5)

    It can feel like death made a decision for you… like a line was drawn and someone you love is now on the other side of it. When your child is no longer walking beside you, it doesn't just feel painful—it feels final. Like no one stopped it. Like death had the last word. But what if that's not the full story? In this episode, we step into what Jesus actually did when He faced death—and why that changes everything about how you see your child's story. If you've been trying to reconcile what you believe about God with what you've experienced, this conversation will meet you right in that tension and gently begin to shift it. In this episode, you'll discover… What it really means that Jesus chose death—and why that matters for you Why death feels like it has the final say… and what Scripture reveals instead How "it is finished" changes the way you understand your child's story The truth about separation, eternity, and what has already been settled If you've been struggling to make sense of the silence and the separation, I invite you to lean in today. You don't have to carry the weight of these questions alone, and you don't have to settle for easy answers. There is a hope that is stronger than the grave, and a Savior who has already settled the debt once and for all. 💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

    267. When God Doesn't Intervene: Trusting a Silent God in Child Loss (Pt 2 0f 5)

    There is a moment seared into the memory of every grieving mom—the phone call, the diagnosis, or the knock on the door that shattered your world forever. In that moment, death isn't just a concept; it enters your story and brings with it a flood of agonizing questions about why the God you love didn't step in to protect your child.   If you feel like your faith has been shaken to the core, you are not alone in the tension of loving your Heavenly Father while suffering the deepest pain imaginable. This episode helps you navigate the confusing space where your reality doesn't match what you believed about God's protection, offering a different perspective on His compassion when the heavens feel silent.   Inside this conversation, you'll discover… The common struggle of reconciling a God who could have stopped the pain with a reality where He didn't. Why silence from Heaven is not the same as abandonment or absence. A powerful perspective from Psalm 57 on how God's rescue often looks different than ours. How to hold onto the truth of God's unchanging character even when you can't see His hand in your story. You don't have to carry the weight of these unspoken questions by yourself or rush to find easy answers that don't fit your heart. Come sit with me as we lean into the hard truths of this Easter season, remembering that even in the moments that feel like forsaking, His compassion is moving toward you.    💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

    266. Why Did My Child Die? Understanding Death and God's Goodness (Part 1 of 5: Easter Series)

    If you're a grieving mom, there is a question that eventually rises up in your heart, whether you say it out loud or not:   Why did death come to my door?   You prayed, you trusted God, and you believed He could protect your child, yet the unthinkable still happened. When death enters your story, it's easy to wonder if God is truly as good as you once thought.   This episode is the beginning of a special five-part Easter series designed to help you navigate the painful intersection of grief and faith. We're going back to the very beginning to look at where death came from, why it exists, and why the loss of your child does not mean that God has turned against you.   In this episode, we'll explore together… What Scripture reveals about God's original design for life and the absence of death. The specific moment the "enemy" entered the human story and how it changed everything. Why the instinct telling you "this should not be happening" is actually a spiritual truth. How to view death as an enemy of God rather than a tool He uses against you. You don't have to carry these heavy questions alone, and your shaking faith is not a sign of failure. It is the response of a heart that recognizes death for what it truly is—an enemy that God is already working to defeat. I pray this conversation brings a sense of peace to your heart today as we begin this journey toward the hope of Easter.   💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself. If you're struggling to find permission to just be you or the noise of grief feels overwhelming right now, I would be honored to sit with you in a quiet, one-on-one space.

    265. How Do I Find Hope Again? Moving Past the Guilt of Child Loss (Part 4 of 4)

    Does it ever feel like "hoping" is a betrayal? Like if you start to look forward to tomorrow, or even just a simple vacation, you're somehow leaving your child behind in yesterday? Friend, that is the guilt of grief, and it is a lie that can keep you paralyzed in the dark.   But today, we are breaking that chain and giving you permission to hope again—not because the pain is gone, but because your anchor is fixed in a place that cannot be shaken.   In this final episode of our Permission and Practice series, we are moving from the whimsical "wishes" of the world to the certain, unbreakable Kingdom Hope found in Hebrews 6:19. We'll explore how to find your footing when you feel lost in the "messy middle" and how to train your soul to look for the tiny micro-evidences that God has not forgotten your story.   Inside this conversation, you'll discover… Why "Kingdom Hope" is a certainty and a person, not a "maybe" or a change in your circumstances. The beautiful truth of the "Inner Sanctuary" and how your hope is tethered to the very place where your child is already waiting. How to shift your perspective on sunrises and sunsets so they become a countdown to reunion rather than a reminder of absence. A simple, three-step practice to identify "Glimmers" of God's goodness even when your heart is still breaking *]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "request-69a8b0a1-65f0-8333-a98d-956d9dce7a7b-88" data-testid= "conversation-turn-70" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant"> If you've been afraid to hope again because it feels like moving away from your child, this conversation will remind you that hope is not abandoning love—it is the anchor that allows you to carry that love forward.
