236. How To Manage Loss, Transitions, and Follow God's Calling -- Jodi & David

Are you walking through a lot of changes in your life this year? Would you say you have a lot of transitions? I would say that for me, for sure! 2025 has been year full of transition, loss and still trying to figure out how to follow God's calling through it all. I am glad to be back on the podcast, I took a long sabbatical in May after my father passed away. This is my first episode back and my husband and I will be sharing what has been going on personally as well with the ministry this past year. We also have some exciting news to share about the Depth book. I want to be honest and let you know I get emotional in the episode especially near the end. I just want you to know that if you are hurting and walking through hard things, I understand and I hope my words encourage you! I reference a video my son made for my dad's service and I want to share the YouTube Link with you.
