What the Cross Teaches Us About Grief and Trust: John 19: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study
In this episode, Rachael Groll sits with the weight of John chapter 19 and the deep emotions that come with Jesus’ suffering and crucifixion. She talks about what it feels like to face situations where we have no control, the kind of grief that knocks the wind out of us, and the unexpected ways God meets us in those places. Rachael highlights Jesus’ obedience and calm authority in the middle of unimaginable pain and shows how His posture becomes a model for our own faith. This conversation invites listeners to trust God’s plan even when it doesn’t make sense, to surrender what they cannot carry, and to look for God’s purpose in seasons that feel confusing and heavy.
