On the anniversary of his brother-in-law Frank's tragic death, Pastor Charlie Miller shares a deeply personal episode about grieving as a follower of Jesus. Drawing from nearly four decades of loss – including his sister Scarlett, his brother Greg, his parents, and mother-in-law – Charlie offers hard-won wisdom about walking through grief with faith, honesty, and hope.
In this episode, you'll discover that grief doesn't demonstrate a lack of faith but rather shows our humanity as we follow in Jesus' footsteps. Charlie addresses the reality that it's okay to be angry, the essential role of Christian community during loss, and how hope differs from denial when facing death and tragedy. Speaking from decades of personal experience with loss, he offers both theological depth and practical wisdom for the journey through sorrow.
Whether you're currently grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand how faith intersects with loss, this episode offers biblical wisdom and practical comfort for the journey through sorrow.
