What Does God Say About Grief? (The Answer May Surprise You)

Most people think that if your faith is strong enough, you should be able to push through grief quickly. But Scripture tells a completely different story.
In this episode, we’re sitting with what the Bible actually says about grief - and it might surprise you. We’re talking about why Jesus wept even when He already had the miracle, why God doesn’t rush your healing, and what He’s doing in the waiting when it feels like nothing is happening.
We also get into the difference between grieving with faith and using faith to bypass your pain - because spiritual bypassing is real, and it delays the healing God has for you.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for still being in your grief, this episode is your permission slip.
