Today's Bible study covers Leviticus 24 and four distinct elements that are all tied together within the Holiness Code. Verses 1-4 we will talk about the continuous call for the priests to tend to the oil of the lampstand found within the tabernacle. Verses 5-9 discuss the weekly call to supply the show bread (bread of the presence). Both the lampstand and the show bread have application and fulfillment in Christ (which we discuss). In verses 10-23, we see a narrative about a man who blasphemes the Lord and receives swift justice. This leads to a discussion on Lex Talionis (the law of retaliation), also known as “eye for an eye,” as well as a thorough discussion on what blasphemy is and why it deserved the death penalty. Lots to talk about as we dig deep into Leviticus chapter 24.Outline: 03:02 - Leviticus 24.1-4 - Continues Lamp Oil.We learn about the tabernacle lampstand in Exodus 25.31-40. The lampstand had a purpose in its day, it was the only source of light within the Holy Place of the tabernacle. It illuminated the work inside the tabernacle. This is also representative of Christ as our only source of divine eternal light. John 8.12, Jesus says, “‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have light of life.” John 1.4-5, “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” Heaven will be illuminated by the Glory of the Lord, Rev 21.23, “The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.” Additional Symbolism found in the lampstand: 2 Cor 5.21, Heb 7.26, Isa 53.4, Rev 1.20, Jhn 8.12, 9.5, 1.4-9, Rev 21.23. 09:09 - Leviticus 24.5-9 - Show bread also known as the “bread of the presence.” The show bread had a purpose in Moses day. It was a perpetual acknowledgement that all bread/food comes from the Lord. It was a thank-offering to the Lord. God is the provider of all. The 12 loaves represent the 12 tribes of Israel, continually offering their gratitude and dependence on God for daily provision. The show bread has fulfilment in Christ. Jesus is the bread of life, John 6.35, Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” Additionally (you can dig deep into this yourself) Jhn 3.16, 1 Pet 2.22, Heb 7.25, Rom 8.34, Eph 5.2, 1 Pet 2.9, 1 Cor 11.23-25.13:39 - Leviticus 24.10-23 - Blasphemy and justice17:05 - What is Lex Talionis? What is Eye for an Eye?Lex Talionis is latin. “lex” = law and talio = “like for like”The law of retaliation and the law of retributionBible verses covered on this in the study: Ex 21.23-25, Deut 19.15-21, Mat 5.38-48, Mat 5.17, Rom 13.1-4.Lex Taolionis - eye for an eye - was never meant for personal relationships. This is where we must apply Jesus' statement of turning the other cheek.30:48 - Leviticus 24.10-16, 23 - BlasphemyWhat is Blasphemy? Blasphemy is any deliberate, irreverent, or contemptuous speech or action against: God (father, son, or spirit), His character, His name, His worksWhat is Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? A willful, knowing, persistent rejection of the Holy Spirit's testimony about Jesus. Considered unforgivable because the person has hardened their heart against the only means of salvation.The Holy Spirit resides in us as believers: John 14.16–17, Ephesians 1.13–14, 2 Corinthians 1.21–22, Ephesians 4.30.Key Bible Verses on Blasphemy covered in this talk: Exo 20.7, Exo 22.28, Lev 24.16, 1 Kings 21.1-14, Job 2.9-10, Luke 5.21, John 10.30-39, Psa 82:6, Mark 14.60-64, John 19.6-7 and Rev 13:5–6.Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgJoin the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD
We're 3 weeks away from Griefhab's 3rd Annual Healing Together Through the Holidays Event - in honor of National Grief Awareness Week.

Finding the right kind of help shouldn't feel complicated - but between long waitlists, confusing titles, and church mixed messages about therapy, it often does.In the final part of the Do No Harm series, Laurie and licensed therapist Kati Quigley talk about what makes finding help so hard, and why it's still worth the effort. Together, they unpack the difference between a counselor, coach, and spiritual director, why “biblical counseling” can unintentionally do harm, and how to find affordable, faith-aligned options that actually support healing.Connect with Kati Quigley: katiquigleycounseling.orgJoin our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRate, Review, & Follow Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie and The Small Church Ministry Podcast!!"

In this week's Bible study, we go through Leviticus chapters 21 & 22. We are still in the ‘Holiness Code' this week looking at regulations for the priests themselves on how to remain holy. Included we look at how a priest might become defiled by death (the mourning process for the dead), as well as the sacred offerings. We will also talk about the restrictions and regulations on the priests and the animals that were to be offered to the Lord. Lots to talk about as we dig deep into the Old Testament.Outline: 00:09 - The Holiness Code - rules and regulations that are intended to set Israel apart. Lev 18.3-6, “you must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. You must obey my laws and be careful to folow my decrees. I am the Lord your God.”Lev 19.1-2, “The Lord said to Moses, speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God am holy.”BE SET APART.03:00 - Leviticus 22.1-3 - What are The Sacred Offerings?Leviticus 1-7 outlines the major offerings the Israelites could bring before the Lord in the Tabernacle. Included in each is provision for the priest and his family. The Burnt offering, Lev 7.8 - the priest may keep the hide. The Grain offering, Lev 2.3, 10; 6.16, 18; 7.9-10 - after a portion is burned as a “most holy” offering to the Lord, the rest is kept for the priest and his family. The Fellowship (or peace) offering, Lev 7.31-34 - a portion belongs to the Lord, then the breast and right thigh belong to the priest - the rest belongs to the offerer to eat in fellowship with their family. The Sin (or purification) offering, Lev 5.13, 6:26, 29 & 7.7 - a portion for the priest to be eaten. The Guilt (or restitution) offering, Lev 7.6-7 - same rules as the sin offering.07:38 - Leviticus 21.1-6 - Priests must avoid becoming ceremonially unclean for the dead.13:08 - Application of Lev 21.1-6 for us today. Do not let yourselves become defiled. Bible verses mentioned: 1 Pet 2.9-10; Gal 5.19-2; Mat 28.19-20 and Mat 7.5.19:04 - Physical Standards of the priests. Leviticus 21.7-9 - No wives defiled by prostitution or by divorce. Leviticus 21.10-15 - specifically has standards for the High Priest.23:08 - Leviticus 21.16-24 no one with physical handicaps can “offer the food of his God.” - v6 as well - the food offerings to the Lord.25:53 - Leviticus 22.1-8 - Clean and unclean27:52 - Leviticus 22.9 - Respect the offering. This reminds us of Nadab and Abihu of Lev 10 and their using “unauthorized fire.”29:18 - Leviticus 22.10-16 - Restricted distributions. No one outside the priest's family may eat the sacred offerings30:49 - Leviticus 22.17-33 - Unacceptable Sacrifices. Animals used for the offerings must be unblemished - without defect - similar to the disqualifications for descendants of Aaron who can not be priests - blind, lame, deformed, or with bad testicles.Exodus 12.5 - The passover lamb must be WITHOUT defect. Jesus was the complete fulfilment of the Law - I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Jesus is our passover lamb. Biblical references: 1 Peter 1.18-19; John 1.29; Matthew 5.17-20; Ephesians 2.8-940:39 - Closing Questions: 1. Do you let yourself become defiled by sin? 2. Does your outward appearance earn you favor with God? 3. Can you make God love you any more? Can you make God love you less?

In small churches, we're often the first people others turn to when life falls apart - whether we're on staff, leading worship, teaching kids, or serving on the elder board. In Part Two of the Do No Harm series, Laurie and licensed therapist Kati Quigley talk about what churches can do to help create more emotionally healthy spaces. This isn't about becoming counselors, giving advice, or providing solutions. It's about practicing empathy, allowing people to lean into their own painful places, listening well, and partnering with counselors and professionals we trust.In this episode:How small churches can normalize therapy and mental health supportWhy awareness of reactions matters (our own and others) in ministry meetingsHow to listen better and create safer, judgment-free spacesThe value of clear boundaries and trusted referral listsConnect with Kati Quigley:katiquigleycounseling.orgJoin our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRate, Review, & Follow Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie and The Small Church Ministry Podcast!!"

In this episode of Let's Be Clear, Pastor Jamal Bryant delivers a bold wake-up call about power, priorities, and misplaced faith in leadership. From a $250 million White House ballroom built during economic struggle to 7 million protestors marching for justice, he exposes how America's values have drifted far from “one nation under God.”Pastor Jamal Bryant challenges the myth of who's really on welfare, reveals the truth behind food insecurity in America, and calls for a national economic shift — starting with a Target boycott and a movement to support 100 Black businesses.This isn't politics. It's a prophecy. And it's a message every conscience needs to hear.#JamalBryant #LetsBeClear #ImNotBuyingIt #BuyBlack #FaithAndJustice #EconomicFreedom #NoKingsMarch #SocialJustice #BlackEmpowerment #WhiteHouseBallroom #montgomerybusboycott ------------The Jamal Bryant Podcast "Let's Be Clear" is a conversation that rips off the bandaid to serious relevant issues in the community and around the country.

Israel was a covenant nation under God. As a people, they were to be Holy, set apart, and these are the rules He has established, including the consequences for breaking those rules.02:32 - clarification on a point made in last week's study (Leviticus 19.12-37) dealing with immigration in the United States and not “mistreating the foreigner residing among us” - Lev 19.33-34.03:22 - what is the two-fold sense of scripture?06:50 - Do we have to follow all of the laws that are outlined in Leviticus?06:50 - What are the different kinds of laws in Leviticus and which should we follow today? Moral Laws - These laws are timeless and should be followed today. These laws reflect God's character. Each of the laws that qualify as a “moral law” is reaffirmed and restated in the New Testament. A few examples of these types of laws include: Idolatry - 1 Cor 6.9-10; 10.14; Adultery - Matt 5.27-28; and Sexual immorality - 1 Cor 6.18, 1 Thes 4.3, Eph 5.3 and Gal 5.Ceremonial Laws - These laws symbolize separation from paganism and are not binding for today but are useful for understanding holiness (being set apart). Examples of these laws include eating clean and unclean animals and how an Israelite was to cut their hair (Lev 19.28). We are not called to follow these laws today. Here are a few New Testament perspectives on these laws: Mat 15.10-11 and Rom 14.14-18.Civil/Judicial Laws - These are laws related to the governance of the Theocracy of Israel in its day. These laws include punishments such as stoning and burning, as well as being isolated from the community. An example of this is the punishment for adultery (as stated in Lev 20.10) of stoning. John 8.1-11 shows Jesus' perspective on this punishment. See also 1 Peter 2.11-17 and Galatians 520:42 - Leviticus 20.1-5 - Child Sacrifices to Molek. Included in this discussion are Bible verses: Lev 18.21 as well as Deu 12.31, 18.10; Jer 7.31, 32.35 and 2 Kings 16.3, 21.6. Watch the full video on Leviticus 18: https://youtu.be/UZ_fjQI65o823:14 - Leviticus 20.6 & 27 - Spiritists and mediums. Included in this discussion are Bible verses: Lev 19.26 & .31, as well as Eph 6.12.24:30 - Leviticus 20.7-8 & 22-24 - Consecrate yourselves and be holy. God calls the Israelites to be set apart, as he does for us today as well. Bible verses discussed: Exo 3.8 and Gen 15.16.28:28 - Leviticus 20.9 - Cursing father or Mother. We covered this when we spoke on Lev 19.3. Also mentioned are Bible verses: Ex 20.12, Eph 6.2-3 and Pro 1.8; 6.20; 23.22. Watch the Lev 19 video: https://youtu.be/ATXH9Y7fp4829:15 - Leviticus 20.10-21 - Punishments for Sexual Immorality.

If you've been feeling more tired, foggy, or emotional lately — you're not imagining it. Science shows that seasonal changes can intensify grief, depression, and anxiety. A University of Michigan study found that on high-pollen days, suicide deaths rose by 7.4%, and among those already struggling with mental health, that number climbed to 8.6%.On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I unpack how physical triggers like allergies, shorter days, and disrupted sleep impact emotional healing — and how to care for your mind and body when both are carrying the weight of grief.Remember that you can reach out anytime:sam@griefhab.orgJoin the Griefhab Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7Join Team Ruthless - for multiple support groups every week and EVERY holiday!https://forms.gle/Zw639P7htwg2qFDH6Become a Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss Author:sam@griefhab.orgPre register for Healing Together Through the Holidays https://mailchi.mp/6ba0911aecfb/92dv5u9dkj
Dr. Jamal Bryant drops a powerful wake-up call in this episode of Let's Be Clear. He exposes how power, politics, and profit are shaping what Black America sees, hears, and believes.From Bad Bunny's Super Bowl spotlight to Apple's billion-dollar marketing agenda, Bryant shows how capitalism cloaks itself in culture. He pushes back on Van Jones' statement about AI and reparations, arguing that no machine can fix a moral debt that still hasn't been paid.Standing in the legacy of the Black Church, Dr. Jamal Bryant reminds viewers that faith was never meant to be silent — it was built to confront injustice.
This is part one of two in looking at Leviticus 19. This chapter has various laws outlined within the “holiness code,” the set of rules designed to keep Israel safe and set apart in the land they are going to enter. Included in this talk are rules on respecting parents, observing the sabbath, abstaining from the worship of idols, and ordinances on not stealing or lying.Outline: 00:04 - Introduction to Leviticus 1902:28 - Reading of Leviticus 19.1-2005:20 - Leviticus 19.1-2 - Be holy - be set apartLev 17-26 is the “holiness code”; these are rules to govern Israel. Bible verses covered: Exo 19.6, 1 Pet 1.14-16, and Rom 12.1-2.12:56 - Leviticus 19.3 - Respect your Mother & FatherThere is a reason God made this one of the commandments; it's important to honor your parents and show them respect. This commandment also includes a promise “so that it will go well with you and that you will ENJOY life.” Treat your parents as you would like to be treated by your children. Honor them, respect them Bible verses included: Ex 20.12, Eph 6.2-3, Pro 1.8, Pro 6.20 and Pro 23.22 16:54 - Leviticus 19.3 - Observe my SabbathsThe Israelite was commanded to rest on Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath (Sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday). This was a to be a day to rest, to spend with your family before the Lord. Not to work. Not wanting to break the 4th commandment, jews took this to the extreme (and still do to this day), Ex: Sabbath elevators in Jerusalem. The jews made rules on top of rules to make sure that they did not break the 4th commandment. To the extent that it was more about not breaking ANY rules about the sabbath then it was about enjoying and honoring God within the sabbath.Bible verses included: Exo 20.8-11, Exo 16:21-26, Mrk 2.23-27 and Col 2.16-17. Decide as a family how you will spend the sabbath.26:00 - Leviticus 19.4 - Do not turn to IdolsWhat is an idol - something that you worship other than the Lord. Examples of idols: Gen 31 - Laban and his “household gods” - small figurines. Ex 32 - the Golden Calf. King Hezekiah destroyed the bronze serpent in 2 Kings 18.4 and called it “Nehushtan” - a thing made of bronze.. Num 21,4-9 is the original story with John 3.14 being where Jesus says it is about him. Also read Isaiah 44. 33:45 - Leviticus 19.5-8 - Fellowship Offerings. For more see Lev 7.11-1835:05 - Leviticus 19.9-10 - Care for the poor in your harvest. This deals with not harvesting 100% of your crops but leaving some for the poor. Other Bible verses on this: Deut 24.19-21 and Ruth 2.2-3.37:53 - Leviticus 19.11a, 13, 35 - Do not steal (do not rob, defraud, hold back wages, or use dishonest scales). Bible verses covered: Lev 19.11a, 13, 35; Deut 25.15-16; Pro 11; 16; 20; 23 and Exo 20.15.40:51 - Leviticus 19.11b, & 16a - Do not Lie or deceive (or slander).

California just passed a first-of-its-kind law requiring social media platforms to display mental health warning labels for users under 18 — a move that's being compared to cigarette warnings.On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I break down what the law really does, whether it will make a difference, and what actually helps when it comes to protecting young minds.This isn't just about teens — it's about all of us learning to set boundaries in a world that profits from our attention.Because awareness is a start — but action changes everything.

Infertility can make you feel old, at 28! Infertility messes with your own view of your age. Sometimes you get told that you have all the time in the world. That "you're young" and "you still have time." Then, in a weird twist, people will say, "You don't have forever."There are SO many emotions that come up when we talk about infertility and your age. In this episode, we are looking at all of them. We look at why Doug wanted to be a young age when he was a dad. We look at what people usually hear when it comes to their age. If you have ever felt like your age is bringing up feelings in your infertility story, this episode is for you.

Pastor Jamal Bryant isn't holding back in this episode of Let's Be Clear. He tackles the double standards around freedom of speech, racial equity, and social justice in America — exposing how Black voices are silenced while white commentators are protected.He also breaks down his boycott of Target: their broken $2B pledge after George Floyd's death, refusal to invest in HBCUs and Black banks, and the billions they've lost since. Pastor Bryant makes it clear: silence has consequences.
Infertility and God. There is a lot, where do we start?Many people believe in God. Not everyone, but many. For those who believe in God and believe that they have a relationship with God, infertility might be hurting that relationship. Infertility might be changing how you view God or putting pressure on your thoughts about God. This episode is all about that. In this episode, we talk about the ways in which thoughts on God might be changing and what infertility does to a relationship with God. This episode is not trying to convince anyone to believe in God and does not advocate for one religious perspective. If you have thoughts about God and infertility, this episode is for you.

Leviticus 18 continues the “holiness code,” talking about sexual immorality. The holiness code is a series of chapters in Leviticus (chapters 17-26) that call the Israelites to be holy and set apart for the Lord. In verse 3, God calls the Israelites not to be like the Egyptians (where they had been) and not to be like the people in the land they are going to (the Canaanites). The Israelites are not to engage in unlawful sexual relations, and included in that discussion, Dave talks about what the Bible has to say about Polygamy, child sacrifice, abortion, and homosexuality. The application for the Israelites in Moses' day was that they were to be set apart for the Lord; our application today is the same. We can not be perfect, but based on being perfectly forgiven in Christ, we ought to aim for living Holy lives, not allowing anything that will derail or lead us astray in our lives.Outline:00:24 - heavy subjects to be covered today. You must read the Bible for yourself and come to your own conclusions. If you are upset by what is shared, ask the question, am I upset at this teaching or am I upset by what the Bible says? When we find ourselves in contradiction to the Bible, we can either change and follow God's direction or we can rebel and go our own way.02:13 - using AI to study the Bible. Artificial intelligence is a great resource for doing research to see what the Bible says. 04:43 - reading all of Leviticus 1809:26 - Leviticus 18.1-5 & 24-30 - Sets up the rest of the Holiness Code. The Israelites were to be set apart.10:56 - Leviticus 18.3 - You must not do as they do in Egypt. What do they do in Egypt? Bible verses cited: Ex chapters 7-12; Ex 12.12; Ex 32 and Lev 17.7. You must not do as they do in the land of Canaan. What was the sin of the Canaanites? False worship & Idolatry (Baal, Asherah, & Molek) as well as child sacrifices, occult practices, witchcraft, and divination. Bible verses cited: Deut 18.9–12, Lev 18.26-27, Gen 15.16, Exo 3.8; 3.17; 33.2; 34.11; Deut, Joshua, Judges, etc). Joshua 1-12 God uses the Israelites to judge the Canaanites.What right does God have to judge the Canaanites, or any people group? Just wait until we talk about child sacrifice. God does judge the wicked for their acts: 2 Peter 2.4-10, 2 Peter 3.9-1823:25 - Leviticus 18.6-23 - Unlawful Sexual Relations23:59 - Why does Leviticus 18 not outlaw having sex with your children?24:45 - Leviticus 18.18 - Polygamy - Does the Bible condone polygamy?

As we remember 9/11, I can't help but feel like this world hasn't come very far. On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I honor those lost on 9/11 - as well as those lost yesterday. Charlie Kick was fatally shot while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah yesterday while a student at Evergreen High School in Colorado wounded two classmates before taking his own life. This is the world we live in. There are countless other tragedies that didn't make the news, and while guns are the issue, hate is the root of the problem. Tune in to hear an important conversation about doing better, communicating better, walking away better, apologizing better, disagreeing better, and just being better.Remember that you can reach out anytime:sam@griefhab.orgJoin the Griefhab Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7Join Team Ruthless - for multiple support groups every week and EVERY holiday!https://forms.gle/Zw639P7htwg2qFDH6Become a Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss Author:sam@griefhab.orgAsk me about Griefhab On Demand!sam@griefhab.orgPre register for Healing Together Through the Holidays https://mailchi.mp/6ba0911aecfb/92dv5u9dkj
Have you ever wondered how people were saved before Jesus came? Many believe salvation in the Old Testament was impossible, or earned by following complex laws. But Scripture reveals something far greater: from the beginning, God had a plan to save His people by grace through faith. In this episode of the Binmin Popscast, Dr. Bob Martin (“Pops”) explains how the promise of salvation started in Eden, how it was previewed in the Old Testament, and how it finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_orgJOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - INTRO 1:12 - HOW WERE PEOPLE SAVED BEFORE JESUS?1:20 - THE FIRST PROMISE OF SALVATION1:50 - FAITH OF THE PATRIARCHSHebrews 11Saved through faith2:40 - THE MOSAIC COVENANT AND THE LAW3:09 - THE SYMBOLS THAT POINT TO THE SAVIOR 4:08 - WHAT ABOUT OUTSIDERS?4:40 - WHAT CHANGED AFTER JESUS CAME?6:09 - THANK YOU & WRAP UPJOIN the NEWSLETTER.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Relevant Development Podcast, Juan Alvarado sits down with Amy Brady, founder of Flourish Lab, to flip the script on leadership, behavior, and emotional intelligence in education and afterschool programs.We tackle big questions like:Why do so many organizations cling to outdated “behavior management”?What happens when adults don't work on their own emotional intelligence?How childhood experiences shape adult behaviors in the workplace.The missing link between staff culture and student success.This conversation is raw, practical, and eye-opening. Whether you're a teacher, youth worker, leader, or parent, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, culture, and the way we truly raise the bar for kids by first raising the bar for ourselves.
We don't learn in school how to talk about what's bothering us—but we should. Holding things in doesn't just disappear; it builds until it comes out sideways. Maybe it's an argument, a mistake at work, or an explosion years later. On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss why bottling emotions is so damaging, what it does to our health and relationships, and how we can start expressing ourselves in healthier ways.Remember that you can reach out anytime:sam@griefhab.orgJoin the Griefhab Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7Join Team Ruthless - for multiple support groups every week and EVERY holiday!https://forms.gle/Zw639P7htwg2qFDH6Become a Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss Author:sam@griefhab.orgAsk me about Griefhab On Demand!sam@griefhab.org

Growth comes in many forms - some of it consciously, some unconsciously, and some even comes from others. On today's episode of The Be Ruthless Show, I discuss how even the messy parts - the rumors, the gossip, the hate — can actually fuel growth. Without realizing it, those who try to tear us down are the very people building our resilience, patience and strength. Because growth doesn't always come wrapped in pretty packages. Sometimes it comes from the fire, the struggle, and yes — even from the haters.Remember that you can reach out anytime:sam@griefhab.orgJoin the Griefhab Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefhab7Join Team Ruthless - for multiple support groups every week and EVERY holiday!https://forms.gle/Zw639P7htwg2qFDH6Become a Faces of Grief: Surviving Pet Loss Author:sam@griefhab.orgAsk me about Griefhab On Demand!sam@griefhab.org
