Can we ever truly “move on”? Or do we grow forward? In the final part of this live-recorded series from First Christian Church in Roanoke, Martha, Marilyn, and Becky discuss honoring past love, embracing the possibility of new relationships, and the shift from “we to me” — and sometimes, back to “we.” Love doesn’t end. It evolves.
Why do we feel guilty for moving forward? And what does faith look like in the middle of heartbreak? In this heartfelt installment, recorded live at First Christian Church in Roanoke, Martha, Marilyn, and Becky explore the “Band-Aid phase” of grief, spiritual struggle, and the unexpected ways God meets us in our pain. This is an honest, faith-rooted reflection on what comes next.
How do we keep the memory of a loved one alive? In part two of this live-recorded conversation from First Christian Church in Roanoke, host Martha Mason and contributors Marilyn Peyton and Becky Pritt reflect on the power of storytelling, family legacy, and the comfort that comes from saying their name out loud. Through laughter, tears, and shared memories, they remind us: love lives on in the stories we tell.
