We All Experience The Aches Of Grief
Sometimes, it feels impossible not to be overwhelmed by sorrow.
C.S. Lewis described this reality this way, “Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief but live each day thinking about living each day in grief."
Grief is hard, but you don’t need to face it alone.
Jesus Provides Comfort
Because Jesus rose from the grave your sorrow and grief can be shaded with hope!
In the Good Grief study, you’ll learn:
✅ How to think and feel about grief from the Bible’s perspective.
✅ The power of intentional, spiritual relationships for processing grief.
✅ The grace of lament (a biblical way to talk with God about our pains).
Your grief can be transformed and used by God for good.
