Finding God's Goodness in Grief, Loss, and Life Transitions, Trusting God When Life Changes

What do you do when life changes in ways you never expected? When grief, loss, health challenges, and major life transitions all seem to happen at once, it's easy to wonder where God is and whether His goodness is still present.

In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I sit down with my friend Angela for a deeply encouraging conversation about trusting God through seasons of grief, uncertainty, and change. After losing both of her parents within fifteen months, watching her oldest child move across the world, facing health challenges, and entering a new season of empty nesting, Angela shares how God has faithfully met her in the middle of it all.

Together, we talk about what it looks like to honestly lament before God while still holding onto hope. We discuss Psalm 23, Lamentations 3, the beauty of remembering God's faithfulness, and why His goodness and mercy continue to pursue us even when we can't see them.

Angela also shares a powerful and deeply personal story from her father's final days, one that forever changed her understanding of God's presence, mercy, and eternal hope. It's a beautiful reminder that God never leaves us alone in our suffering. Learn morea bout what God is doing in her at www.rethinkingmythinking.com.

If you're walking through grief, navigating a difficult transition, caring for aging parents, becoming an empty nester, or simply wondering where God is in your current season, I pray this conversation reminds you that His presence is often His greatest gift.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Trusting God through grief and major life transitions
• Finding hope in Psalm 23 and Lamentations 3
• How to lament honestly without losing faith

Friend, if life feels overwhelming right now, I hope this conversation reminds you that God is still pursuing you with goodness and mercy. Even when you can't see Him working, He is faithful. Keep bringing your heart to Him, keep remembering His character, and trust that He is writing a story far bigger than what you can see today.
