In this episode of Cultivated, Jeremiah and Savannah reflect on the passing of Jeremiah’s grandfather and the emotions surrounding funerals, grief, and Christian hope. They unpack everything from funeral traditions and why we wear black to the awkwardness of what people say when someone dies. The conversation shifts into deeper theological questions about heaven, glorified bodies, and even whether tattoos make it to eternity. From there, they dive into the real and raw challenges of parenting a strong willed three year old, navigating discipline, defiance, and how to balance authority with reasoning. It is an honest, unfiltered look at marriage, faith, loss, travel, and raising young kids in the thick of everyday life.
