The Grief Mentor | Life After Child Loss, Hope and Healing For Grieving Moms, Bereavement, Christian Grief SupportShow Notes
I Don't Know Who God Is Anymore: Faith After Child Loss I don't know who God is anymore. This is something Teresa hears frequently. Some mothers are able to verbalize it. Others are afraid to, because they aren't sure it's the right thing to say. You may still believe in Him. You may still love Him. You just don't know what to believe about Him anymore. His goodness. His protection. Whether prayer does anything. What trusting Him even means now. This episode is for the mother standing in front of a God she doesn't recognize. Teresa shares her own spiritual crisis after Andrew went to heaven, and takes you to a hill in Athens where Paul had a conversation she's been passionate about ever since. In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why the word of God looks different through the eyes of grief ✨ What it means to get to know Him again — not who grief says He is, not who your circumstances make Him appear to be ✨ The ancient altar built for a God nobody could name — and what it has to do with you ✨ The one question Teresa asks you to answer in your heart before the episode ends You don't have to have this settled today. Nobody is asking that of you. Being curious about God again can be difficult to do by yourself. Calming the Chaos will take you to the places that help you discover what you're feeling and work through it — and see it through a different set of eyes. At your own pace, in your own time. 👉 Calming The Chaos The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor
