S13 E101 When Grief Shakes Your Faith | Finding Hope After Loss

Have you ever experienced a loss so painful that you wondered how you would ever find joy again? Welcome to Season 13 of Jesus, Joy & Java: Rooted in Every Season! 🌳❤️☕ We're beginning this new season with Episode 1, Rooted After Loss, and the comforting promise found in Psalm 34:18 (NKJV): “The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.” Sweet sisters, grief has a way of shaking the very foundation of our lives. Whether you've lost a spouse, parent, sibling, friend, or someone you dearly love, the journey through grief can leave you feeling overwhelmed, lonely, and uncertain about the future. In today's episode, we'll hear the story of a woman we'll call Sarah, whose life changed unexpectedly when she lost her husband, David. Through her journey, we'll explore how God meets us in our deepest sorrow, strengthens our faith, and gently reminds us that even when our hearts are broken, our roots can remain firmly planted in Him. If you've been asking, “Where is God when I'm grieving?” “How do I find hope after losing someone?” or “Can I trust God when my heart is broken?” this episode is for you. Together, we'll explore biblical encouragement for grief, God's comforting presence, and what it means to remain rooted in Christ through life's most difficult seasons. Grab your Bible, your journal, and your favorite cup of coffee, and join me as we begin this beautiful new journey together. ❤️ Today's reminder: Grief may change the landscape of your life, but it cannot separate you from the love and presence of God. 🌿 Season 13: Rooted in Every Season ~ because the strongest roots often grow through life's hardest storms.
