Grief feels unbearable because it was never meant to be familiar.

In this episode, we sit with the weight of loss and explore why grief feels so disorienting, uncontrollable, and deeply personal. Through raw personal stories of losing a child and losing a mother, we talk about why death still shocks us, why the pain doesn't follow a timeline, and why trying to "get over it" often does more harm than good.

Drawing from Scripture, especially Isaiah 11, we reflect on the truth that we were created for a world without death, danger, or loss and how grief exposes that disconnect. We wrestle with the sting of death, the waves of sorrow that come without warning, and the reality that healing doesn't mean forgetting. Some wounds leave scars, and those scars matter.

This conversation reframes grief not as something to manage or suppress, but as a reflection of love, a reminder of our mortality, and a tether to eternity. We talk about why Christians don't grieve less than the world, but differently and how pain, when allowed to have its way, can open our hearts rather than harden them.

If you've ever felt angry at how unfair loss is, confused by your emotions, or unsure where God fits into your grief, this episode invites you to stop rushing the process and start understanding what grief is really pointing you toward.
