S3 Ep 115115 |The Unique Grief of Child Loss By Addiction

Grieving Mom, I asked three moms to share their unique story of loss with you, and they said, yes. I've had the privilege to work with grieving moms now for nearly two years. It's a sobering as well as humbling moment, to sit across the screen from a grieving mother. As her words flow, I'm reminded over and over of the fragility of life and the need for a Savior. There is no greater pain that I have experienced or witnessed, on this earth than the death of a child, regardless of the cause or the age they left this earth. Using the word death in the same sentence with my son's name, even now makes my stomach come up in my throat. (You know that feeling all too well.) These precious moms gave me permission to share their statements with you and parts of their personal writings. When I asked them, they said yes without hesitation to being vulnerable and opening up their heart to help you see inside the walls of their grief. I personally helped these moms navigate their grief journeys, and I have grown to love and respect their hearts. Despite their pain. they want to help you. So tune in as I take you on a journey inside the hearts of these precious mothers and their story of loss. Book Your 1:1 Time With The Grief Mentor Here Become A Grief Mentor Insider Here!

S3 Ep 114114 | The Roar Of The "Why" and How To Manage It

Grieving mom, What is the number one question we all face after child loss? Did you say it out loud already? Yeah, it's "WHY." The roar of the "WHY" gets louder and louder. Confusion sets in, and when those questions go unanswered, before you realize it, you've decided you have no real purpose. You attempt to focus on God's word, but the words sound like noise that have no meaning. Where was God when my child was dying. Runs like a loop in your mind over and over. Does he really love me. Did he love my child. Does he really care about my life? Is God really good. Friend if this you then today's episode is exactly what you need, "HOPE." And this is why God has put me in your path right now for this moment. Need Some 1:1 Time With The Grief Mentor? Book Your Call Here Become A Grief Mentor Insider Here!

S3 Ep 113113 | Has Doubt Drained Your Confidence? Learn How To Get It Back In 4 Steps.

Grieving Mom, How does the enemy use your grief against you? Our greatest enemy is an opportunist: A person who exploits circumstances to gain an immediate advantage. The death of your child puts you in immediate danger friend. It creates a vulnerability inside of you that threatens to destroy you. If you've ever entertained doubt about your creator, then the death of your child will take you down a path of confirming that belief. If you've ever doubted the goodness of God, then the death of your child will take you down a path of confirming that belief. If you've ever wondered if God is real, then the death of your child will take you down a path of confirming that belief. Friend today is an urgent message that came from the heart of God, and I can't wait to share it with you. In order to survive the death of your child, you must know and understand the battle that is waging inside your heart and mind is spiritual. Whether, you know it or not friend, you are in a spiritual battle. God has brought you here today to fill your heart with hope, and to open your eyes to what is unseen so that you will be able to fight. And!!! Win!!! Because greater is he, that is in you than he that is in the world. Need Some 1:1 Time With The Grief Mentor? Book Your Call Here Watch the Free Grief Masterclass Here!

S3 Ep 1003 Habits That Lead To Exhaustion In Grief And What To Do Instead

What is a habit? Webster says it's a regular tendency or practice. It's any regular repeated behavior. Why is that important for you? Because what you do in your daily life, that repeats itself over and over, allows the brain to make your actions automatic, this is also true for your thoughts. The repeated actions and or thoughts create a pathway in your brain that runs without awareness. This is important for you if.... you have developed some habits that are not producing the results you would like in managing your grief. It takes awareness to create a new pathway. God says how a man thinks in his heart becomes who he is. Proverbs 23:7.

S3 Ep 95The Purpose of Lament, Serving Others, Changing Lives The Tom Franklin Way.

It is to my great sorrow, that a dear friend, Tom Franklin, left his earthly home this past week. Today, I'm replaying the podcast we did together and honor of his great example of living, loving and serving well. To honor Tom's memory donations can be made to New Life Christian Missions. PO box 647, Floyd Knobs, Indiana 47119. To Charlotte, and Tom's family, my heart deeply grieves with yours. Tom embraced Tony and I with our loss of Andrew in such a way as to inspire us to cling to our faith of one day, joining our son. He encouraged and blessed us by his kind affirming words. Not once, not twice, but every time we had the privilege to speak to him. When I heard the news this past week. My heart sank for his precious wife and family. But I must say that my heart also smiled that he heard the words he's preached about his whole life. Well done my good and faithful servant! Welcome home. We will miss you, Tom. What a privilege to have walked this earth knowing you.

Q & A with The Grief Mentor Last week on the podcast I shared an intimate moment between me and The Holy Spirit where I heard the voice of God, not audibly, but in my spirit. It was a special moment that I will never forget because he comforted me and turned a dreadful experience into an unexplainable peace. I'll include the link to that podcast below. Today I cover 4 points regarding hearing the voice of God. Does God speak audibly? If God does not speak audibly then how do we hear his voice? If God's voice is just a thought how do we know it's from him? Why is God's voice clear at times and silent at others? Join me as I answer these questions and teach you how to hear the voice of God in your life and why silence is not what you think it is.

*BONUS EPISODE This is Thursday, yes, I know I don't normally release a podcast on Thursdays. However, this is a bonus episode that I can't wait to share with you. I have a guest today and Tony, my husband assists me in interviewing him. We discuss grief, lament, God's goodness, and the pain that we suffer here on this earth. This episode is special to me because Tom is involved in a ministry in India and he shares some information with us on how to support him but also how what he's doing is changing lives in miraculous ways. They are caring for orphaned neglected children and training up ministers in the word of God. The effect this is having is not measurable in human terms. Changing lives one generation at a time. Today, my guest is Tom Franklin, and Tom and Charlotte Franklin have been working for 25 years in India and Nepal. And the ministry is called New Life Christian Missions. Contact Tom per his post office box and or email. It is to dangerous to have a website due to the laws where they are serving.
