No Fear In Love

Personally, 2020 has been a whirlwind of a year for me. It started off with mountaintop moments and ended in a steep, dark valley. How does one cope with the grief and loss? Listen as I take you through my personal scriptural journey discovering how God walks with us in our grief and points us back to purpose despite the pain.Scripture mentioned:1 Kings 19John 11Luke 22Psalm 23Sources:NLT and ESV Bible TranslationsMatthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible
