Grieving Wholeheartedly

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Culture stifles grief, pushing us to dismiss another’s aches and neglect our own. Is it any wonder so many of us feel our days pass in bleakness? However, Audrey Davidheiser's credentials, writing finesse, and experience offer a gracious, literary path of healing, encouraging us to accept grief's unavoidable presence but to walk through the bleakness with bold fervor, trusting beams of hope and love to light the way home.”

How to Keep Believing When You’re Suffering

Christian Living

“As Christians, we affirm Immanuel, ‘God with us,’ but we often forget Immanuel, ‘God as us.’ Life’s rhythms and reasons aren’t always wrapped in knowing why the planet tilts toward suffering and chaos but in the beautiful, mysterious, yet defining truth that Jesus walked this sideways earth as one of us. Shannon Cramer’s words gently (and humorously) remind us that rather than knowing why hardships endure, knowing Immanuel as ‘God as us’ presents the greatest cure for body, mind, and soul.”
