171 || How to Keep Your Perspective Even Through a Season of Grief || Joanna Meyer

Send us Fan Mail Joanna Meyer serves the Denver Institute for Faith & Work as Director of Public Engagement and oversees the Women & Vocation Initiative. Joanna brings her story with vulnerability and openness regarding the loss of a personal dream, and she shares how God has continued to provide opportunities to develop her voice and vision for her vocational dream as well as clarity in how to steward a path that includes unanswered prayers. Joanna teaches us what it’s like to actively pursue the dream in your heart even when the path you’ve been called to steward involves grief and loss. I hope you’ll come away from this conversation with insight on: How keep perspective even through seasons of grief and lament, What it looks like to trust and remain faithful to God even when He hasn’t provided the answers you’ve cried out for, and Letting your soul lay fallow for a season instead of forcing optimism, trying to manage difficult emotions or solve problems that aren’t yours to solve. If you’re a single woman wanting to be married, if you’re a married woman longing for children, if you’re still not sure what your dream is or you’re trying to figure out how to integrate your relational callings with your professional callings, you won’t want to miss a minute of this honest conversation with my friend Joanna.
