05. stuck in deep grief? the 2 different types of grief (and what you need most right now)

Grief is something every believer will face—but not all grief leads to life. In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between worldly grief and godly grief through the lens of Scripture: 2 Corinthians 7, 2 Corinthians 13, Romans 9:2, and Revelation 21:4.

Worldly grief keeps us stuck in shame, despair, and hopelessness. But godly grief draws us closer to Jesus, leading us to repentance, transformation, and healing. God doesn’t waste your pain—He uses it to shape you, strengthen you, and equip you to help others. The enemy wants you bound by sorrow, but God calls you to fix your eyes on Him and step into the freedom only He gives.

If you’ve been wrestling with grief, loss, or heartache, this conversation will remind you that God sees your tears, He promises comfort, and He is faithful to restore joy.

✨ Listen in and be encouraged to let grief do its holy work—changing you into who God has called you to be.
