Show Notes

  • “I went through a divorce; and before the divorce I was grieving what I thought I had [as a future]. Divorce is a death; it is like a death.”

  • Treat your marriage, or other relationship, like its own breathing entity. Is it healthy?

  • “Loss is like a bucking bronco. It throws us up in the air, and sometimes we come down and land on the back of the horse and sometimes we . . . land in the dirt.”

  • “You can experience so many kinds of different losses, but you can still have the same emotion towards it.”

  • “Loss changes you. You are not the same when you lose something. Like for me, I am not the same with marriage. It changed me.”

  • “Loss does shape us, and I think sometimes we are scared of what the shaping is going to be.”

  • “What if loss actually grows us as we do the grief work.”

  • How have you seen loss benefit your life?

  • “God will use pain to transform us.”

  • “Loss is inevitable, and there are certain lessons and gifts it provides as God redeems it.”

  • “Loss becomes a gift because from that we are able to minister to others.”

  • “Sometimes we are missing out on how He is redeeming because we are trying to take over and make Him redeem it how we would want it.”

  1. I think this is the 2nd time I listened to a podcast, and it’s somewhere in between rare to never, lol, that I comment on something like this. However, I want to share that I heard God speaking to me today about loss I’ve experienced in my life through the Daily Bread message for today, through reading Genesis and how God redeemed the tremendous loss Joseph experienced when his brothers sold him into slavery, and then listening to your podcast today.
    Thank you,

  2. I really needed to listen to this today. I am having a hard time with the loss of my marriage. Thank you for all your thoughts.

Rachel Britton felt hopeless when she and her husband moved to the United States from Britain. As she faced the biggest transition of her life, she remembered God and cried out to Him.
