from I Like Birds Podcast · host Zach Rippey

September 27, 2020, divided my life into two worlds: the one where my best friend Armani was alive and the one where he wasn’t.In this raw solo dolo episode, I share the heart behind Me, Armani, & Jesus, why I buried parts of my grief for three years, and what happened when I returned to the cabin and river connected to Armani’s final days. We talk about the friendships we keep putting on the back burner, facing the places we would rather avoid, and learning how to wrestle with God without walking away from Him.This story is for anyone grieving someone they lost, searching for hope, or needing permission to admit that their heart still hurts.Support the book, share this episode, and reach out to your best friend while you still can.
