271. I Believe in Heaven… So Why Am I Still Struggling So Much?

You believe with everything in you that your child is in heaven, yet you still wake up with a heaviness on your chest that won't go away.

It's the question so many grieving moms carry in the quiet: "If I really believe they are with Jesus, why does it still hurt this much?"This internal tug-of-war can leave you feeling like your faith isn't strong enough or that you're failing at a journey you never asked to be on.

In this episode, we're peeling back the layers of that spiritual guilt to look at the messy middle ground where deep faith and deep sorrow coexist. You'll see why your tears aren't a sign of weak belief, but a testament to a love that was meant to last a lifetime.

Inside this conversation, you'll discover:

• The "Spiritual Vice Grip": How the pressure to "do better" in your grief actually keeps you from the peace you're searching for.

• A Lesson from the Pinto: What a vintage hymnal and a broken car door taught me about surrendering the things we cannot control.

• The Worship of Silence: Why the new The Resurrection of a King project by Tommee Profitt and K-LOVE is meeting grieving hearts in a way words can't.

• Truth vs. Sorrow: Why the hope of the resurrection doesn't actually cancel out the ache of today's absence.

Dear grieving mom, you don't have to choose between your hope in heaven and the reality of your hurt. Press play and let's sit in that space together, reminding your heart that Jesus is standing right there in the middle of the ache with you.
