Episode notes
Start With A Pause Each Week
- Practice the weekly pause to tune into your body, name your feelings, and release them to God before prayer.
- Use the pause to center, breathe, and allow Holy Spirit to surface what you need to release.
Union With God As Essential
- John Eldredge says the core necessity is an operational, functional union with God rather than mere concepts about the gospel.
- He frames the vine-and-branches union as the source of guidance, consolation, meaning, and healing from incompleteness.
Recover Stolen Grief With Jesus
- If you suspect "stolen grief," stop and invite Jesus to reveal and restore what was missed or suppressed.
- Allow God to bring repressed losses back online and walk into them with Him rather than avoiding the pain.
