In this powerful episode of Heartprints of Loss, hosts Amanda, Sophy, and Kristin sit down with Pastor Kenny Eldridge to discuss a heartbreaking reality: 75% of widows report their churches lack proper support systems for their grief journey.
What You'll Discover: ✨ Why most churches don't have widow ministries (and what needs to change) ✨ The biblical mandate to support widows and orphans ✨ How spiritual healing requires both truth and courage ✨ Pastor Kenny's powerful analogy about storms, sunshine, and choosing to heal ✨ Real stories of faith crisis and restoration after spousal loss
Pastor Kenny shares profound wisdom about grief, forgiveness, and the choice to heal. His message that "you have to want to be healed" offers hope to anyone struggling through loss.
Key Moments:
• The lack of knowledge vs. lack of caring in churches
• Why "time heals all wounds" isn't biblical truth
• The importance of being truthful to achieve total healing
• How God is both at the beginning and end of your struggle
This conversation offers both accountability for faith communities and encouragement for those walking the difficult path of widowhood.
