In this powerful episode, Chad Potts sits down with JoBeth Polley—widowed at 33, mom of two, and now a grief recovery coach—to talk about navigating deep pain, devastating loss, and the silence that follows when God doesn’t answer our prayers the way we hope.
JoBeth shares her honest story: from infertility and adoption to losing her husband to terminal brain cancer, and how she chose not to lose God in the process. This conversation will challenge and encourage you—whether you’re in the middle of grief, walking with someone who is, or wondering how faith and suffering can coexist.
In this episode you'll learn:
What not to say to someone who’s grieving (and what’s actually helpful)
Why grief isn’t just about death—and why avoiding it never works
How JoBeth helped her children grieve in a healthy way
Why feeling your pain is the first step toward healing
How to live with grief without staying stuck in it
The moment JoBeth heard God say: “You’ve done everything you can… let him go”
