003 | Embrace & Wrestle: Wrestling with God in Grief, Faith, and Finding Hope

🎧 Listen to Episode 3: Embrace & Wrestle: Wrestling with God in Grief, Faith, and Finding Hope — a tender invitation to bring your questions, your grief, and your honest heart to God without fear.   In this episode of Wildflower Hope, Johanna shares a deeply personal reflection on what it looks like to wrestle with God in the midst of grief after losing her daughter, Gianna Lilyfaith.   Not from a place of polished faith… but from the ground. From a broken tree. From tears, questions, and the kind of prayers that don’t feel tidy or resolved. What unfolds is a quiet but powerful reminder that wrestling with God is not a sign of distance… it may be one of the closest places we can be.   Through story, Scripture, and gentle reflection, Johanna explores how God meets us not after we have everything figured out… but right in the middle of our questions, our sorrow, and our honest cries.   If you are walking through grief, child loss, complicated grief, trauma, or a season where your faith feels strained or uncertain, this episode offers a safe place to come as you are. Because sometimes faith doesn’t look like confidence… sometimes it looks like staying.   In this episode we explore: • wrestling with God in grief • Christian grief and loss • faith in seasons of doubt and questioning • lament and honest prayer • how God meets us in pain and emotional struggle • staying connected to God in the middle of suffering • finding hope in the midst of unanswered questions   🌿 About the Podcast   Wildflower Hope is a Christian grief podcast for women walking through loss, trauma, heartbreak, and wilderness seasons of faith.   Here we make space for honest lament, compassionate grief support, and the slow rediscovery of hope with God.   Because even in the wilderness of sorrow… God is still near.   🌿 Resources & Community   Wildflower Hope on Substack https://wildflowerhope.substack.com   Wildflower Hope Soul Care https://wildflowerhopesoulcare.com   Inside Wildflower Hope Soul Care, Johanna offers a gentle pathway for tending grief, caring for the nervous system, and learning to notice where God is present… even in the hardest places.   🌿 Help Other Women Find the Podcast   If this episode encouraged you, would you consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?   Reviews help other grieving hearts discover Wildflower Hope when they are searching for comfort, faith, and hope in the wilderness. ❤️‍🩹 You can also share this episode with a friend who may need a companion in a hard season.
