NEXT Podcast Episode 18: Embrace – Finding Purpose in Pain

Grief is real. It’s raw. It changes us. But it doesn’t have to define us. In this episode of the NEXT Podcast, we continue our journey through the NEXT acronym by exploring what it means to embrace grief—fully acknowledging the pain of loss while refusing to let it consume us. I share my personal journey of wrestling with God in grief, the moment my pain turned to surrender, and how worship became my way forward. If I was loud in my pain, I knew I needed to be loud in my praise. Together, we’ll talk about: • How grief can shape us but not imprison us • Using pain as fuel for purpose and healing • Why worship challenges us to grieve better • Five practical steps to embracing grief with faith and resilience Grief is a sacred journey, but we don’t walk it alone. Jesus meets us in the sorrow and leads us toward hope. Listen now and take your NEXT step forward.
