In this episode of With Grace, Octavia sits down with author and speaker Charaia Rush for an honest conversation about what it looks like to follow God when your life takes a turn you never expected.
After walking through divorce, Charaia shares what it means to live with what she calls “ambiguous grief”—the kind of grief that comes from dreams that didn’t happen, relationships that ended, or seasons that look nothing like what we hoped for.
Together they talk about:
• Making peace with the life you didn’t choose
• How grief becomes part of our story instead of something we erase
• The danger of rushing to turn pain into a testimony
• Finding your identity when life falls apart
• Discovering the tenderness of God in disappointment
• Fighting for the presence of God in difficult seasons
One of the most powerful reminders in this conversation is that wholeness doesn’t come from pretending hard things didn’t happen — it comes from letting God meet us inside them.
If you’ve ever felt disoriented by your life, disappointed by your story, or unsure how God fits into your pain, this episode will remind you that you are not alone — and God is still near.
