The Comforter

Listen in as my wife, Kathy Gray, joins me on this heartfelt episode of More Faith, more Life. We're addressing a topic that carries a significant amount of weight - grief. In the world today, many people are grappling with a sense of loss and pain, making it crucial to learn how to navigate through it. As Kathy shares her personal experiences with grief, we uncover the vital truth that grief, while not part of God's original plan for us, has become an unfortunate reality of our lives due to the entrance of sin and death into the world.

We continue the conversation by examining the tension between the pain of grief and the hope of healing. Kathy reminds us of the danger of holding on to grief too tightly and allowing it to entrench itself in our souls, threatening our relationships and our outlook on life. However, she also highlights the power of the Holy Spirit as a comforter and the importance of letting go of grief in a healthy manner. We look to the scripture for hope and comfort, and extend an invitation to those who are grieving to seek solace and guidance in Jesus. This is an episode filled with profound insights and heartfelt truths that will undoubtedly touch the hearts of many.
