In this powerful episode of Saved and Strong, Tina Akridge shares her inspiring story of walking through an eight-year journey of battling cancer alongside her husband—a journey that ended with his homegoing but opened the door for a new calling. Tina is a faith-filled speaker, writer, and encourager whose heart beats to help women grow closer to Abba Father, even in the depths of grief. She vulnerably unpacks how God’s grace met her in the hardest moments and how His presence carried her through loss, marriage, and parenting adult children. Tina also discusses her devotional, Grace in Grief: A 100-Day Journey Exploring God’s Tender Response to Loss, and how it’s helping others find hope in sorrow.
Whether you’re grieving, caregiving, or walking through life’s valleys, this conversation will remind you that God is near, and His grace is more than enough.
