In today's episode, I sit down with Luba Patlakh-Kaplun, the founder of Kidology, a mom of three, speech language pathologist, and dedicated advocate for families navigating IEPs. We talk about the loss that shaped both of us, the waves of grief, and the quiet moments where our parents still feel close. We get into mindset as the bridge between the human and the infinite, why asking for help is an act of faith, and how small, consistent actions create lasting change. Luba shares how she built her business, raised young kids, and learned to trust her own direction while stepping into her next chapter with purpose.

It is a phone call I will never forget...

Grief is often described as waves that can crash through our lives like a tsunami. But what if you can learn to float, and eventually swim forward in the midst of that grief? We discuss how in this episode today as we also hear advice to someone grieving a friend, a father who lost a son, and a husband who lost his lifelong love to Alzheimer's. https://bit.ly/48gPjBq#grief #loss #WavesofGrief #MovingForward #coping #healing #HealthPodcastIn this Episode:02:56 - Recipe of the Week: Cinnamon Rolls03:07 - “My Friend Just Died and I Don't Know What to Do”09:19 - Coping Forward: Mental Health Strategies After Major Loss, by Lucy Tate16:39 - Discussion - Charlie's Journey after His Son's Murder20:10 - "Grief, Am I Doing This Right?"

EPISODE 21: FEAR & LOAFING — HOW GRIEF CONSUMES YOU Dying Laughing with Jessimae In this rereleased episode,  (Part 6 of Grief Survival Guide miniseries) Fear & Loafing: How Grief Consumes You, Jessimae opens up about the ways she coped after losing both of her parents — from emotional eating and drinking to feeling unmotivated, inconsistent, and overwhelmed by fear. She explores how indulgence can become both a comfort and a cost during grief, and how loss can shift from agony into transformation through emotional excavation and self-awareness. If you've ever coped with grief through food, alcohol, avoidance, or anything in between, this honest and relatable episode will resonate deeply.

Grief is difficult, exhausting, and slow, but our daily routines, including work, still continue during the grieving process. In this episode of Two Guys on Your Head, Dr. Art Markman, Dr. Bob Duke, and Rebecca McInroy talk about how we can show up with compassion for colleagues who are grieving, and how we can prepare […] The post Grief and Work appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

Tasalli is a feeling of comfort, reassurance, and emotional support. It is what helps the heart feel calm when someone listens without judgment, shares your pain or simply lets you be with your emotions. Urdu poets like Aarzoo Lakhnavi write about tasalli as the space to process grief, letting tears flow and giving the heart time to settle. or, rather the lack of it when the poet is also expecting more than just words to pacify him. Jan Nisar Akhtar shows how tasalli can come from presence and intimacy, like a hand on the heart or words that make someone feel truly seen. Hasrat Mohani writes about its fragile and cyclical nature, how peace can come and go and memories can trigger those familiar unsettling old feelings. And in the episode you will also find yourself in the embrace of Faiz's reminder that you are your own biggest and most effective healer in his iconic nazm, Mere Humdum Mere Dost. So tune in.

We talk about losing her brother, Harris Wittels, the anger that showed up early in her grief, and how learning more about addiction as a disease changed everything. Stephanie shares what it's like to parent while grieving, why humor is “not disrespectful—it's oxygen,” and how legacy lives on in tiny family moments (yes, we are referring to dinner at Chilis or Benihana).

Episode Summary: In this episode of Grieve That Shit, Sharon Brubaker talks about something most grievers never see coming: why normal sounds suddenly feel like an attack. The kids laughing, the microwave door slamming, a choir starting at church, a car alarm in the parking lot. Things you used to handle just fine now hit your body like lightning. Sharon walks you through what is really happening inside your grieving brain. She breaks down the amygdala, the nervous system, the HPA axis, and why grief flips all of them into survival mode. This is not you "being dramatic." This is biology. Your brain is trying to protect your broken heart and it does not know the difference between emotional danger and physical danger. Through real stories from her clients, Sharon shows how jumpiness, noise sensitivity, snapping at people, and shutting down in crowds are not personality flaws. They are signs that your grief system is stuck on high alert and has not been taught how to turn off. Then she shows you the path out: learning how to calm your brain by processing the pain of grief instead of running from it. Key Points Discussed: Why everyday noise can feel like an attack when you are grieving How the amygdala scans for emotional pain and treats it like danger What happens to your thinking center when grief hits and why you feel numb How the sympathetic nervous system keeps your body in survival mode Why your senses feel sharper, your reactions bigger, and your patience thinner The four grief responses Sharon sees most often: resisting, reacting, avoiding, and pretending How stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline keep your system on high alert Why this noise sensitivity is not permanent when you learn to process the pain How Processing the Pain of Grief helps calm your brain and soften your grief Journal Questions for Reflection: What sounds or situations make your body jump or tense up now that you are grieving Where do you notice your thinking has slowed down or feels foggy When was the last time you snapped or shut down and later realized you were not really mad at that person or thing What background noise or repeated behavior from others feels harder to tolerate since your loss What would it look like to give your brain and body a place to calm down instead of just pushing through Conclusion: Noise sensitivity in grief is not you "losing it." It is your grief biology doing its best to protect you with the only tools it knows. Your brain is on high alert. Your body is tired. Your system is trying to outrun the pain. But this does not have to be your forever. When you learn how to process the pain of grief, your nervous system can settle. Your thoughts get clearer. Your reactions soften. The world gets a little quieter again. You will still miss your person, but the grief does not have to feel like an attack every time a memory or a sound shows up.

A new MP3 sermon from The Narrated Puritan is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Torments of the Wicked in Hell, No Occasion of Grief to Saints in Heaven Subtitle: Sermons Warning and Judgment Speaker: Jonathan Edwards Broadcaster: The Narrated Puritan Event: Audiobook Date: 11/21/2025 Bible: Revelation 18:20 Length: 52 min.

It is the darkest period of World War II...

At the day of judgment, the saints in glory at Christ's right hand, will see the wicked at the left hand in their amazement and horror, will hear the judge pronounce sentence upon them, saying, " Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels;" and will see them go away into everlasting punishment. But the Scripture seems to hold forth to us, that the saints will not only see the misery of the wicked at the day of judgment, but the forementioned texts imply, that the state of the damned in hell will be in the view of the heavenly inhabitants; that the two worlds of happiness and misery will be in view of each other.

Send us a textIt's Therapy Thursday!!The air still hums from a room that felt brave enough for everyone. We unpack what happened at our women's conference where a Muslim practitioner, a Christian voice, and someone who practices magic shared a stage without defensiveness—and why safety, not sameness, made the healing real. The stories that poured out, the tissues that ran thin, and the look on faces walking out lighter reminded us: when people feel held, they release what they no longer need.From that high-frequency moment, we trace the everyday threads that carry healing forward. Snow the next morning felt like a season turning, and two fearless kittens named Marco and Polo taught us how to enter change with curiosity instead of fear. We talk about service that restores dignity—hotel rooms for unhoused families, turkey giveaways—and how helping becomes a place to practice our humanity. We also wrestle with bringing kids into service: intention, consent, and the heart posture that keeps respect at the center.Parenting and reparenting meet in real time as many of us teach emotional skills we never received while rebuilding our own. We talk boundaries that protect home, the risk of over-giving, and the relief that comes with aging into acceptance over performance. Then we zoom out to mental health and the power of labels, revisiting the Rosenhan study to ask for nuance in diagnosis without dismissing real care. The practical medicine we keep returning to is gratitude: one line in a journal, one quiet thank you, one mindful breath that anchors the day.Come for the conference recap; stay for the honest look at community, service, parenting, and the small daily practices that make healing stick.

What do you do when you find yourself reacting as a leader? How can the wounds of your past impact who you are becoming?Former pastor turned leadership coach and podcaster Tony Miltenberger began noticing a powerful pattern in his conversations with leaders: the emotional reactions that were surfacing and influencing their leadership were often rooted in unresolved wounds from the past. As he dug deeper, Tony discovered something even more profound—those very wounds often pointed to the unique gifts a person was meant to offer the world.Drawing from his own personal journey and the experiences of those he has coached, Tony came to see the redemptive potential in our pain. That insight became the foundation of his book,Wisdom in the Wound: How God Uses Your Past to Shape Who You're Becoming. In this episode, Davey and Tony explore the significant impact of "little 't'" traumas in our lives and leadership, why it's crucial to trace our emotional responses back to their origins, and practical steps to begin healing the wounds that shape us.If you lead in any capacity—whether in business, ministry, your workplace, or your home—this conversation will challenge and encourage you to look beneath the surface, confront your story, and discover the wisdom God wants to draw from your wounds so you can fully step into your calling.

Today's poem is The Eulogy I Didn't Give (I) by Bob Hicok.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes … “I'm here, and you're here, so I'd call us “poetry people.” But even people who don't think of themselves as “poetry people,” people who don't spend time with poetry each day, do turn to poems when they're grieving or celebrating: at weddings, funerals, and other occasions that call for something more than we're able to achieve with our own words. Grief, love, longing, gratitude—these are universal human emotions, and yet they are difficult to articulate! More than any genre, perhaps, poetry can help us say the unsayable. It helps to let poets take the reins.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today. Every donation makes a difference: https://tinyurl.com/rjm4synp

What if death wasn't something to fear — but a doorway to freedom? In Bali, I witnessed something that completely shifted how I see loss, grief, and letting go.There was no sorrow, no heaviness — only color, laughter, and music. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen, and it made me question everything I thought I knew about death.Maybe letting go isn't an ending after all… maybe it's something more.If this message speaks to you, please share it with a friend or someone navigating grief — it might bring them peace.

This week, I talk with Dr. Emily Anhalt—a clinical psychologist, founder, and writer who's spent the past 15 years exploring what it really means to be emotionally healthy. You might know her from her TED Talk or her work at Coa, but in this conversation, we go deeper. We talk about growing up in Silicon Valley, the pressure of being a high-achieving kid, and why so many successful people still carry unresolved grief. Emily shares how ADHD shaped her early life, what led her to leave pre-med for psychology, and how emotional patterns from childhood often resurface in our work and relationships. We also dive into what actually makes therapy effective and why hitting your goals doesn't always bring peace. If you've ever built something meaningful but still felt unsettled, or questioned what's really driving your ambition, I think this episode will speak to you. Let's get to it. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:52) - How a beanbag chair and snacks helped Emily unlock her best work (08:01) - Growing up inside the Silicon Valley success machine (09:45) - Why high performers need a different kind of therapy  (11:53) - The story of Emily's parents and how they ended up in the Valley (13:54) - Reframing ADHD as a strength, not a stigma (16:33) - The early experiences that shaped Emily's emotional lens (23:40) - How Emily chose psychology—and what kept her going (28:40) - The moment therapy stopped being about symptoms (33:06) - Why grief is a necessary companion to growth (38:21) - The origin story of a company built around emotional fitness (42:30) - What changes when you go from therapist to founder (45:27) - The qualities of high-integrity therapy (51:26) - How Emily knew it was time to write a book (58:20) - What really keeps entrepreneurs stuck—and how to get unstuck (01:02:09) - What it feels like when success leaves you empty (01:05:32) - How to rebuild when your goals stop making sense (01:07:44) - Why achieving meaning isn't the same as feeling it (01:11:06) - Why therapy often gets harder before it gets better (01:12:47) - Abandoning hard feelings before healing happens (01:13:40) - The isolation of success—and how to find support (01:21:17) - How overachievers get trapped in burnout (01:29:26) - Healthy ways to process anger (01:33:46) - What makes Emily world-class?

Does your heart feel heavier this time of year? Maybe you're missing someone who's no longer here…or carrying a quiet ache that's lingering and hard to name. When the world is celebrating, it can feel lonely to carry sadness that doesn't have a clear place to land.In this episode, I'm joined by Barri Grant, certified grief coach and founder of The Memory Circle—a woman who has turned her own profound losses into a compassionate, grounded space for others to heal. After losing her mother at 27 and later her father to Alzheimer's, Barri has walked the kind of path that reshapes you from the inside out.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Perry, and this is Where It's Quiet, a podcast about returning to what's real beneath the noise. Today I'm naming something I didn't have a word for until recently: gratitude grief — that sweet, aching feeling when your heart is so full of love and thankfulness it almost hurts. I share personal moments from the Camino, a solo trip through Portugal and France, a surprise engagement, and hosting TEDx Bentonville that opened me up to a kind of joy that felt both overwhelming and unbelievably alive. We talk about why that happens: our nervous systems can actually protect us from positive overwhelm, and trauma can narrow the window in which we can fully feel. I share how EMDR therapy helped me widen that window so I could experience more gratitude, compassion, and love without immediately bracing for the fall. I also get real about how gratitude and grief can live in the same heartbeat — feeling deep gratitude for my mom and for moments I missed, and letting the sorrow for those years of numbness surface as proof that I'm learning to feel again. There's a simple practice I guide you through in the episode: settle into your body, breathe, tense and release, then bring to mind someone or something you're deeply grateful for. Let the memory become three-dimensional, notice sensations, and let gratitude and grief coexist. This kind of savoring trains your brain to tolerate more joy and connection. My invitation is gentle: let yourself sit in the warmth and the ache. Hold the love, let the tears come if they come, and remember that grief can be the evidence of a heart that has learned to love more fully. Marcus Aurelius said there's no quieter retreat than the soul — visit it often and fill it with this alive, tender capacity. If this episode moved something in you, savor it a little longer and maybe share it with someone you're grateful for. Until next time — stay gentle, stay curious, and keep returning to where it's quiet.

 If stress feels like a constant hum in the background and your goals keep getting heavier, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. I sit down with Dr. Sue McCreadie—holistic pediatrician and powerhouse midlife transformation coach—for a raw, compassionate conversation that untangles grief, hormones, anxiety, and the pressure to keep it all together. Dr. Sue opens up about losing her father and what the “wave of grief” actually feels like inside a busy life—kids, marriage, businesses, expectations. She explains how stress balloons when we fight reality, and how simple rituals, guided meditations, breath, and curiosity let emotion move through instead of lodging in the body. We connect this emotional work to the biology of midlife: fluctuating estrogen and progesterone, elevated cortisol, and mood shifts that can amplify anxiety. You'll hear practical, holistic tools—protein-rich meals, strength training, sleep hygiene, sunlight, magnesium, omega-3s, somatic practices—that create a calmer baseline for your mind.We also confront the cultural script that worships productivity and fuels imposter syndrome. Dr. Sue shares a liberating approach to goals: set a clear intention, take focused action, then release attachment to the exact timing and path.  And because healing can be light, we add a playful mindset shift: when life surprises you, say “That's fascinating,” and notice how curiosity softens judgment.If you're ready to feel vibrant, intuitive, beautiful, and empowered, this episode is your reminder that you are already enough—and that midlife can be your most joyful chapter yet.

In this episode of Counsel the Word Pastor Keith Palmer talks with Drs. Nicolas and Venessa Ellen about finding grace in grief. You can purchase Dr. Venessa Ellen's new book titled Grace in the Mourning: A Faith-Filled Journey through Grief on her website.

We all carry grief and gratitude through the holidays. Learning to be comfortable with fully feeling and expressing both is crucial to our emotional and spiritual wellbeing.  "The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That's how much gratitude I can give. If I carry only grief, I'll bend toward cynicism and despair. If I have only gratitude, I'll become saccharine and won't develop much compassion for other people's suffering. Grief keeps the heart fluid and soft, which helps make compassion possible."

Your hoodie still smells like him. The floor still holds the echo of his paws. And tonight, your heart is too heavy to hold alone. Let me be here with you. Let me hold space for the ache that only love can leave behind. This gentle F4A comfort audio is for those grieving the loss of a beloved pet—told through the voice of a soft, nurturing mommy domme who just gets it. Based on the real-life story of Zero, the goodest boy who lived, loved, and filled the world with joy and possum chaos. You don't have to be strong tonight. You just have to breathe. I've got you.  Safe. SFW. Gender-neutral listener.  Grief support. Emotional softness. Real memories.  For anyone who's ever loved a dog like family.

Grief is tough. It is so very hard when a loved one dies. Whether it is expected because of serious illness or a total shock, grief is painful. And also, grief is part of life. Sometimes people compound their suffering by asking "Why am I still grieving so hard?" or "Shouldn't I be better by now?"Trying to push grief away doesn't help. In fact, it can make grieving even harder. This meditation is an invitation to make peace with grief.If you have ever lost a person, a pet, a prized possession, a job, an identity, or anything else, this meditation is for you.Be sure you're in a safe place (no driving!) when you listen.I'm glad you're here.Doctor Deliawww.DoctorDelia.comCoping Courageously: A Heart-Centered Guide for Navigating a Loved One's Illness Without Losing Yourself is available here: www.copingcourageously.com Please review this podcast wherever you listen and forward your favorite episode to a friend!

In this Healing 101 bonus episode I'm joined by Jonny Miller, nervous system educator and host of The Inner Frontier podcast. Jonny's work was forged in something unbearably human: the loss of his fiancée, Sophie, to suicide in 2017. We talk about how grief completely dismantled the life he thought he was going to live, and how by actually letting the grief move through him instead of armouring up - he discovered a kind of raw aliveness and tenderness he'd never accessed before.From there we get into what he now teaches: nervous system mastery. Jonny breaks down why so many of us are living slightly frozen, slightly overwhelmed, slightly braced and how building skills in interoception, self-regulation, and emotional fluidity can change the way we grieve, love, work and relate. It's a really grounded, hopeful conversation about turning devastation into capacity.Find Jonny:Website: https://www.jonnymiller.co/Nervous System Mastery: https://www.nsmastery.com/Podcast: https://theinnerfrontier.com/Stateshift App: https://www.stateshift.app/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

What does it look like to keep living when life hits you back-to-back with unimaginable loss?In this candid and deeply honest conversation, Teresa and Wayna sit down with Coach Tabasha A. Davis — “Coach T” — certified life coach, speaker, and author, who shares her lived experience with grief, trauma, and rebuilding life from the bottom up. Coach T opens up about losing her son at 27, navigating eight additional family losses in the same year, and relying on coping skills she learned long before tragedy arrived. She breaks down what “healing out loud” really means, why trauma responses often feel like personality, and how generational wealth begins with mindset, emotional health, and accountability.

This is the third in a series of talks that Fr. Glenn Spencer gave for the Agape adult education class on the topic of grief at All Saints Anglican Church in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Join us as we tackle the tricky topic of grief and children. A few weeks ago, a reader whose husband had died under tragic circumstances asked for resources on how to navigate grief with her four children.So I invited my pastor Wit (Rick Witmer) on to share from the perspective of a biblical counselor. In this episode, he introduces the idea of “trellissing” grief in a way that helps our kids make sense of it biblically. We also chat about more practical tools (like using the acronym GRIEFS) to guide our interactions with our kids as they are mourning. The biblical principles we discuss in this episode are helpful for any parent navigating grief with their children, but they also apply to numerous other aspects of parenting. So even if you're not dealing with this exact topic, I encourage you to listen in. Guest Info:Rick Witmer: Sylvania Church PastorGo Buy His Book: ⁠Walking With God When I'm Afraid⁠Don't Forget to Use the Code: ABBIE25 For 25% Off At Checkout!Sponsor Info:⁠⁠Voetberg Music Academy⁠⁠Voetberg Music Academy provides online, at home, shareable lessons so that your kids can pursue their musical passions without stress or hassle.Use Code: MISFORMAMA20 For 20% Off Of Each Month That You're Enrolled!Bible References:Matthew 5:171 Corinthians 15:54-55Revelation 211 Thessalonians 4:13Hebrews 6:19Matthew 20:18Hebrews 13:52 Corinthians 2Romans 5:3-51 Peter 1:3-92 Timothy 3:16-172 Corinthians 12:9Psalm 112:6-7Matthew 6:33John 16:33Psalm 34:18Romans 8:28Psalm 56:3Psalm 42:5Psalm 742 Corinthians 11 Corinthians 15:262 Corinthians 4:17Psalm 46:1Romans 15:141 Thessalonians 5:17Galatians 6:2Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Gentleness Challenge⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Penny Reward System⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Paint & Prose⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠M Is for Mama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Penny Reward System⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

When God Holds the Thread: Chase's StoryIn this first half of my conversation with Debra Amick, she shares the story of her son Chase—a talented artist, musician, and gentle soul whose life touched so many. Debra opens up about his early years, the emergence of mental-health struggles in his teens, and the intentional decision she and her husband made to stay closely connected to his heart.She also recounts the powerful moment when Chase returned to his faith in Jesus and the heartbreaking night he went to Heaven. Through it all, Debra describes the unmistakable ways God met their family with comfort and presence, even in the darkest places.If you're walking through a story involving mental illness, trauma, or deep sorrow, I pray Debra's honesty will remind you that you're not alone—and that even when we feel like we're hanging on by a thread, we find that it's God Himself who holds that thread.Next week in Part 2, Debra will share what happened after Chase went to Heaven, including how she began writing publicly and how God led her toward purpose in the midst of her pain. She'll also talk about four very practical anchors that helped her navigate her grief with faith and hope.Click HERE to connect with Debra and see all the resources she has available on her website! I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

We may be out of October, but the tricks keep coming. This week, Trevin brings his cats back into the spotlight after buying a Kitty Kurlz Infinity Scratcher—a purchase that ends up impressing him far more than his feline children. Meanwhile, Amanda deals with a different kind of domestic chaos as every major appliance in her new home breaks at once. With no microwave, dishwasher, or dryer, she begins her reluctant journey into inner tradwife territory. Trevin's Killer Fact dives into unproven remedies and folklore, sparked by a recent article about an older Chinese woman who believed swallowing frogs had healing powers—and the painful consequences that followed. Amanda follows up with another bizarre historical phenomenon: the Kentucky Meat Shower of 1876. From theories about falling meat, to likely origins, to whether anyone actually tasted it, the mystery unfolds in all its unsettling glory. During Storytime, Trevin adapts a petty crime headline into a tale filled with grief, funerals, and emotional misdirection. After 74-year-old Mohan Lal unexpectedly passes away, his village gathers for a dramatic funeral procession that leads to the newly built crematorium—and an unexpected twist. Amanda then covers the case of Karen Clark, a St. Louis woman who spent eight years battling debt collectors and police calls after a bizarre identity theft. When a second Karen enters the picture, the confusion skyrockets. In this petty crime saga, two Karens might actually make a right. Both stories this week are tied together by fraud, deception, and identity mischief. So bring a sturdy umbrella—and trust no one—because it's raining meat and deceit.

Loneliness seems to be part of what it means to be a relational being. Does that mean loneliness can never really be “solved”? Here's one way to think about loneliness: As a gap between relational expectation and social reality—something that signals our essentially relational, reciprocal nature as human beings.This episode is part 6 of a series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this reflective conclusion to the series, Macie Bridge and Ryan McAnnally-Linz explore loneliness not as a pathology to solve but as a universal, creaturely experience that reveals our longing for relationship. Drawing on insights from conversations throughout the series, they consider how loneliness emerges in the gap between what we desire relationally and what we actually have, and why this gap might be intrinsic to being human. They discuss solitude as a vital space for discernment, self-understanding, and listening for God; how risk is inherent to relationships; why the church holds unique potential for embodied community; and how even small interactions with neighbors and strangers can meet real needs. Together they reflect on grief, social isolation, resentment, vulnerability, and the invitation to turn loneliness into attentiveness—to God, to ourselves, and to our neighbors, human and non-human alike.Episode Highlights“Loneliness is just baked into our creaturely lives.”“There really is no solution to loneliness—and also that's okay.”“We invite a certain level of risk because we invite another person closer to our own human limits.”“There's no blanket solution. We are all experiencing this thing, but we are all experiencing it differently.”“I realized I could be a gift to her, and she could be a gift to me, even in that small moment.”About Macie BridgeMacie Bridge is Operations Coordinator for the Yale Center for Faith & Culture. Macie is originally from the small town of Groton, Massachusetts, where she was raised in the United Church of Christ.
