What does the Bible Says About Grief? For Women Navigating Loss, Change, and Uncertainty | 37

Have you been pushing through pain that God is asking you to process? Is there a loss, disappointment, or transition you never fully grieved? Do you feel anxious about the future because you’re still carrying pain from the past? Have you mistaken grief for weakness instead of seeing it as part of healing? What if your tears are the very thing God wants to use to bring blessing? In this deeply personal episode, Sarah shares how the Lord led her into what she calls a “holy time-out.” After stepping away from social media, quitting her job, and navigating significant personal loss, God began uncovering grief she had been carrying for years. What started as a simple prompt from the Holy Spirit to “write down all the pain you’ve been carrying in your heart” became the beginning of a profound healing journey. Through The Book of Psalms, Sarah discovered the beautiful picture of the Valley of Baca, also known as the Valley of Tears. Scripture promises that those who walk through this valley can make it a place of springs, where God turns sorrow into blessing. Sarah also shares three life-changing insights from Back Porch Theology that reframed her understanding of grief and healing. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why grief often sneaks up on us when we think we’re “fine” How God may intentionally assign seasons of grief What the Valley of Baca reveals about sorrow and healing Why grieving is not weakness, but evidence that something mattered How unprocessed grief can fuel fear about the future Connect with Sarah Follow Sarah for biblical encouragement, faith-filled mentorship, and behind-the-scenes content from the podcast.
