❓ Are you struggling with painful grief? Do you feel like you’ve been sad too long? Have others suggested you “move on” or “be strong”? ❗️ It's not your fault. From a young age, we've all been given ideas about grief that do not serve us well. It's time to challenge these

@DrFrankTurek I think Jordan's intellect makes him blind to the forest because of the trees, sometimes. But it's his path to wrestle with God and his journey is an example of the mind and spirit trying to cohere to accept Christ.

Though sin has alienated the human race from God, Jesus— by His work on the cross—has ended that alienation and brought us near to God: “Now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13).

Recovery is a choice we make to embrace life again, even after deep sorrow. It’s about finding our way back to love, not just for others, but for ourselves. It’s about reclaiming our freedom—the freedom to live fully, to love deeply, and to be at peace with our past. As you

@FreckledLiberty The tragedy is that culturally, men aren't supposed to show feelings. This will cause complicated grief. Causing the man to bottle it up to later come out as anger or worse. Men aren't ok, they just pretend. I walk people through grief daily.
