The Glass House
Ministry Leaders and their families live in a “glass house”—an environment where they are left vulnerable to the stress of ministry, the criticism of others, and feel the spotlight on their personal weaknesses. Lifeway's "The Glass House" is a space where ministry leaders will shed light on the challenges they often don't feel permission to talk about. Listeners who work in the trenches of church life will feel seen and gain tools to navigate ministry and life. Those who live outside this "glass house" will better understand what it's like to dwell there. Join Ben and Lynley Mandrell for these shockingly confessional—yet redemptive—conversations.

129. Grief, Loss, and God’s Goodness with Rachel Lorance
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever found yourself wrestling with sadness, wondering how to process the pain while still believing that God is good?
As ministry leaders, we often walk alongside others in their suffering, offering comfort and hope. But what happens when we are the ones grieving? When the loss is personal, when the words of others don’t quite bring the comfort we need—how do we navigate those moments?
Today, Ben and Lynley Mandrell are joined by Rachel Lorance, who shares her journey of grief following her father’s battle with cancer. She opens up about the complexities of loss, the impact of well-meaning but painful words, and the role of communication and counseling in the healing process.
This is a conversation about sorrow, faith, and the unwavering goodness of God, even in the midst of suffering.
