When God Doesn’t Stop the Pain: The Truth About Grief | The Unbound Podcast Video
The Unbound Podcast with Dr. Tony EvansShow Notes
You will lose someone you love. The question isn’t if. It’s when. And when it happens, will your faith hold?
In this deeply personal episode of The Unbound Podcast, Pastor Tony Evans sits down with author and speaker John Onwuchekwa for a conversation about grief, faith and what hope actually looks like when life falls apart.
John shares the story of losing his brother unexpectedly, planting a church while his world was unraveling and discovering that grief is not a journey you finish but a language you learn. Together they talk about why rushing people to hope can actually wound them, how Scripture becomes alive in suffering and why everything we love in this world will one day be lost.
But they also talk about resurrection. About Good Friday moments that feel final. About how God meets us in the dark, not by turning the lights on, but by holding our hand.
If you have ever lost someone. If you are walking through grief right now. Or if you want to know how to help someone who is hurting. This conversation is for you.
