"God is just so kind. He's so patient. His heart is for his people. So in the midst of loss and grief—which he himself has experienced—he wants to be near us, even if that means we're beating our fists on his chest."
— Phylicia Masonheimer
Today's Episode: How do we navigate grief and loss? How do we find comfort and experience peace in difficult seasons? That's what Natalie is discussing with today's guest, Phylicia Masonheimer. Phylicia tells the story of 2024—one of the hardest years of her life. She walks us through how she dealt with her raw emotions, how she relied on Scripture and prayer for help and healing, and how she experienced God's compassion through visible expressions of his grace to her and her family. It's such a beautiful and compelling story. May it encourage your heart.
This month's memory verse: "Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." — Lamentations 3:22-23
