Rise in Mourning
Rise in Mourning: Finding Jesus at the Threshing Floor welcomes you into weekly conversations about grief & providing support, advice, coping skills, parenting after loss, hope & healing.
After losing our youngest son, I found myself at my own “threshing floor” — a place of heartbreak and surrender where God began to rebuild me piece by piece. In the depths of grief, I realized how few spaces existed that truly held the complexities of loss through a lens of faith. That’s why I created Rise in Mourning — a podcast born from both pain and purpose...for God's purpose.
Here, we talk about grief and healing in all their real, unfiltered layers. We’ll walk through the wrestle of faith, the beauty of surrender, and the slow, sacred rise that only Jesus can bring. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep walking when the world falls apart…
you’re not alone.
There’s hope here.
There’s healing here.
And there’s Jesus — right here, at the threshing floor.
My hope is that every episode reminds you that even in sorrow, there is purpose… and through Him, beauty can rise from the ashes.
"Because even in mourning...we rise."
*New episodes air every Wednesday at 10am EST.
