Letters to Grief is a collection of letters I wrote to grief. I wrote it for you. For all of you who have known grief as a close companion, an intimate friend. A shadow. I wrote it for those of you who have not yet experienced its acute pangs, but have watched people cringe with the weight of its burden. I wrote it not to dictate how people feel or should feel, but to open a discussion about grief's all-consuming and ever-changing nature. Its paradoxes and its unexpected qualities. I wrote it for those who have grieving friends and don't know what it's like, and for those who wonder when it will pass.I wrote it because grief is a fickle creature, and often despised. Misunderstood and underestimated. Feared, even. Some think it can be conquered. Overcome. I disagree. From my limited experience, grief is not something that passes, at least not in this lifetime. It's not something a person can graduate from and walk away, unchanged. It's cyclical, like the moon. It waxes and wanes, ever present.

Have you thought about sharing your story but needed help with its why, what, when, and how? Author Kate Motaung of Share Your Story: The Transforming Power of Telling Others What God Has Done discusses why sharing is important and how we can begin. She dives into how nothing is too small or too big to be a voice to help others know God is for them. If you've been listening to this show for awhile than you know stories matter! Revelation 12:11 (paraphrased) We have triumphed over the enemy by the blood of Jesus and by the word of our testimony that we didn't love our life so much that we shrunk back or were afraid to proclaim Jesus is the only Way, Truth, and Life.

Grief, heartache, and much uncertainty are just some of the things that Kate shares with Taryn. Listen as they chat about her journey and God's incredible compassion and care as Kate trusts Him and learns from those around her.   EPISODE NOTES:   When Kate became serious about her Christian faith, she chose to explore mission work abroad.

I met my husband there and all three of our children were born there.”   “Scripture is the ultimate authority and truth and that is what brings us back together.”    “It has been interesting with race relations in America becoming more heated.”   “It has been a blessing and opportunity for my husband to listen and educate others.”   “I have learned a lot from him: just watching him, listening to him, learning from him about how we an treat each other in a way that reflects that we are all made in the image of God.”   “I have also been passionate about supporting women of colour particularly in the writing and publishing sphere, because those are the circles I am often already in.”   “Wherever we are in the world, we can take comfort in knowing that this world is not our final home.”   “We want to be a city on the hill pointing people to Christ.”   “It is very tricky - whenever I post about myself or my work on social media it feels very much like “look at me, look at me”, yet at the same time we have been called to be obedient to use the gifts we have been given.”   Can't see clickable links?

  From miscarriage to mentorship: Kristie shares how losing her first child in miscarriage led her and her husband to the foot of the cross. Kristie's work in church ministry, alongside her husband, Thabiti, has equipped her with life experience and biblical knowledge that has her passionate about the Bible and passionate about mentoring. She is particularly encouraged when women mentor other women in a way that leads them to a deeper relationship with God and a better understanding of His word. This passion has also led her to publish a devotional on Psalm 119 written solely by women of colour. Listen here as Kristie shares her journey.   EPISODE NOTES: Kristie Anyabwile remembers saying evening prayers every night by her bedside with her grandma. Her grandma was her first Christian influence, but it was only years later, as a newly-married woman suffering the trauma of a recent miscarriage, that Kristie came to truly understand who Jesus was. From the time she and her husband were first rocked by the gospel message they heard on television until this day, Kristie continues to live in the light of that same gospel. Three kids and a few moves later, Kristie's ministry in the Lord revolves around her family; Anacostia River Church in southeast Washington where she disciples and teaches women in her church, and joyfully supports her husband of 28 years, Thabiti, as he pastors the church; and the work of the Charles Simeon Trust – an organisation that seeks to equip lay folk with Bible reading and teaching skills.  Close to her heart is the practice of women mentoring other women. In this interview, Kristie speaks about what that can look like. Kristie also shares about the recently released devotional she was privileged to see through from conception to reality.  “His Testimonies, My Heritage: Women of Color on the Word of God is a collection of devotions by a diverse group of women of colour—African-Americans, Hispanic, Caribbean, and Asian women. Contributors include Kristie Anyabwile, Jackie Hill-Perry, Trillia Newbell, Elicia Horton, Christina Edmondson, Blair Linne, and more. It is a faithful exposition of Psalm 119 and incorporates each contributor's cultural expression both within the teaching and as they bring the word of God to bear on their lives. Readers will be thrilled and encouraged by hearing God speak through his word as it is expounded by these faithful women teachers, and they will long for more.”* ENDORSEMENTS: His Testimonies, My Heritage: Women of Color on the Word of God “A rich collection of wise, talented voices. My soul has been refreshed by this timely reminder of God's kind and gracious provision for his people through his word. It's been a while since I've read a book that so emphasized the sufficiency and relevancy of Scripture for today's problems. – KATE MOTAUNG, Author, A Place to Land: A Story of Longing and Belonging; Co-Author, Influence “His Testimonies My Heritage is an edifying book. What the essayists in this collection have in common are two things: they are all women of color, and they all write out of deep and moving experience of joyfully coming under the authority of holy Scripture.” – D.A. CARSON, President, The Gospel Coalition “This book is like entering a type of class reunion, where the various shades of skin are beautifully enveloped in the exact same grace blanket. I feel comfortable and in very good company. Our Father doesn't ignore our context or race-linked struggles when speaking to us about his testimonies, and he soothes us through each other. I invite you to join my sisters and be encouraged and uplifted by looking at his eternal truth through these eyes.” – AIXA DE LOPEZ, Author; Speaker; Board Member, Christian Alliance for Orphans LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Revenge of Conscience, by J. Budziszewski Anacostia River Church in Washington DC Charles Simeon Trust  His Testimonies, My Heritage: Women of Color on the Word of God, edited by Kristie Anyabwile SHOW SNIPPETS: "I guess part of it is just hoping that we would open our eyes a little bit more in our local context and see who God has placed right in front of us, and that we would take the steps and the initiative to learn from one another." "I didn't notice that there is so much that I learn from older women in my life by them just talking to me and telling me about their life." "She was the kind of person who, just in normal conversation, was pouring out wisdom that she did not even recognise." "All of us, in the body of Christ, can only (but) benefit when we learn from someone outside of our own culture."   Can't see clickable links?
