Honoring the Fallen: From 9/11 to Today - Season 6 Episode 23

In this episode, I invite you to join me in a space of reflection and grief as we remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and process a heartbreaking loss —the assassination of Charlie Kirk at a local Utah college campus, just yesterday. This episode isn’t about politics or debate; it’s about real pain, raw emotions, and the challenge of holding onto faith when the world feels broken.

Together, we walk through the weight of shock, anger, fear, and sadness that tragedies bring, and explore how God meets us in those moments of deepest brokenness. I share comforting scriptures that have carried me—and countless others—through grief, and wisdom from voices who have faced unimaginable darkness yet found hope.

This episode offers gentle encouragement for those wrestling with spiritual confusion and pain, reminding us that grief takes time, presence matters more than perfect words, and hope anchored in God’s love is real and unshakable. You’ll hear five practical ways to turn pain into purpose today—from honest prayer to sharing your story—and a heartfelt reminder that even when the world shakes, God holds us steady.

Whether you’re remembering the lives lost on 9/11, grappling with the tragedy unfolding yesterday, or simply seeking peace in a turbulent world, this episode offers a sanctuary of compassion, faith, and hope. You’re not alone.
