God Didnt Take Your Child Grief 2 Growth 2025-10-08 | Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respond (buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/695488/open_sms) This episode is different. It’s tender. It’s raw. And it’s something I feel deeply called to share.A grieving parent recently whispered to me, “Maybe God took my child because I strayed.” That sentence — that pain — has echoed in my heart ever since.In this special episode, I speak directly to that voice inside so many of us… the one shaped by fear-based theology, wondering if loss is somehow our fault. Wondering if we’re being punished. Wondering if God is angry.We explore the lies that grief can trigger — and the deeper truths that can begin to set us free.You’ll hear about soul paths, spiritual guilt, parental love, and what it really means to believe in a loving God. If you’ve ever carried the weight of “what if” in your loss — or walked beside someone who has — this is for you.🔔 Content Note:Gentle reflections on infant and child loss, spiritual trauma, and grief.Tender but ultimately loving and redemptive in tone.Visit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey: • Guided Meditations • My book GEMS of Healing (signed copy) • My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved ones • Mini-courses • Mini-guides Check it out at grief2growth.com/store Support the show (pages.grief2growth.com/products/grief-2-growth) 🧑🏿🤝🧑🏻 Join Facebook Group (facebook.com/groups/grief2growth) - Get Support and Education 👛 Subscribe to Grief 2 Growth Premium (bonus episodes) (buzzsprout.com/695488/supporters/new) 📰 Get A Free Gift (grief2growth.com/gifts) 📅 Book A Complimentary Discovery Call (grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-complimentary) 📈 Leave A Review (ratethispodcast.com/grief2growth) Thanks so much for your support

If you know me, you know I don’t usually enjoy long trips or being far from home. But this journey has surprised me in ways I couldn’t have imagined.Over the past week, I’ve: • Faced my fears of being “stuck” at sea for 48 hours. • Learned to slow down and enjoy the journey—not just the destination. • Witnessed incredible resilience from my friend Lisa, who joined this cruise only five months after the sudden passing of her husband, Mike. • Reflected on the strength of friendships that have lasted decades through celebrations, illnesses, grief, and growth. • Climbed the 587 steps of Santorini—both a physical and metaphorical reminder of the climbs we all face in life.As I sit here watching the Aegean Sea, I’m reminded that life is short, unpredictable, and precious. Whether we get five minutes, five years, or fifty years with someone we love, it is all a blessing.✨ My hope is that this episode encourages you to slow down, savor the journey, and grab every bit of life you can—because the ride itself is the gift 👉 If you’d like to go deeper, connect with with me.Visit the Grief 2 Growth store for FREE items as well as other tools to help you along your journey: • Guided Meditations • My book GEMS of Healing (signed copy) • My Oracle deck to help you connect with your loved ones • Mini-courses • Mini-guides Check it out at grief2growth.com/store Support the show (pages.grief2growth.com/products/grief-2-growth) 🧑🏿🤝🧑🏻 Join Facebook Group (facebook.com/groups/grief2growth) - Get Support and Education 👛 Subscribe to Grief 2 Growth Premium (bonus episodes) (buzzsprout.com/695488/supporters/new) 📰 Get A Free Gift (grief2growth.com/gifts) 📅 Book A Complimentary Discovery Call (grief2growth.as.me/30-minute-complimentary) 📈 Leave A Review (ratethispodcast.com/grief2growth) Thanks so much for your support
