Still Held: The Harvest Path

At some point after loss… the house starts to sound different. Not louder. Not quieter. Just… different in a way that's hard to explain to someone who hasn't felt it. In this episode I'm sitting with you in something that doesn't get talked about nearly enough - that particular kind of silence that moves in after loss. The one that isn't empty exactly, but somehow feels he...

If you’ve ever stood there holding something that shouldn’t feel so heavy… this one’s for you. You’re not doing th...

And when I say small, I mean tiny. Microscopic. Like "I put on real pants today" small. Like "I opened my Bible, got overwhelmed after two verses, and shut it again" small. Like "I...

You don't have to get it together before He'll show up. When you find yourself crying in the laundry room over a missing sock. Y'all, I found Jesus this morning... right next to the lint trap.

Your tears aren't a burden. They're a witness. When grief ambushes you in the most ordinary places. I wasn't even planning to go there that day. I just needed dog food. Simple errand, in and out, nothing dramatic. But I took a wrong turn somewhere past the seasonal stuff, and suddenly there I was—standing in front of rows and rows of Mother's Day cards. And then I saw it. One c...

Who am I to tell you how to grieve? Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing most days—and maybe that's exactly why we need to talk.
