65. When Hurry and Control Are Actually Grief in Disguise

What if one of the reasons we struggle isn't because we've experienced too much pain, but because we've never really learned what to do with it? You know, most of us think grief belongs to funerals or deep loss like that.

But grief actually shows up every time life doesn't turn out the way we hoped.

So today we are beginning a conversation that can change the way we understand ourselves, our relationships, and especially our walk with God.

Today, we are going to start a conversation about grief.

I am so excited for this new season of Honey for Your Heart.

This is a special season, and I am joined by my friend,

Randy Hiphill,

who many of you may remember from our Men of May series that we did a few seasons back.

He was part of that, and it was amazing.

If you did not listen to that, I suggest that you go back and listen.

but we had such great feedback from Randy that we wanted to bring him back.

So Randy is the Congregational Care Pastor at All Christ Church in Auburn, Alabama, but he's also the co-founder of Life Ministries, which he co-founded with his beautiful wife, Melody, who's also a wonderful friend of mine.

So love them personally, but he spent many, many years counseling and pastoring people.

And he has now written a book called, We Grieve Our Losses.

which I am so excited to share with you.

And this whole season we'll be walking through this book.

This is actually a workbook and I have worked through it.

It is absolutely one of the best books that I have ever seen or read on grief.

And I'm excited to share it with you today.

So Randy.

Thanks for being here.
