If you just pay attention to small occurrences and people in your life, you'll see how God is showing up. We had dear friend, father, speaker, and best-selling author, Jonathan Pitts, back on the Rhythms for Life podcast for Season 3! He released his latest book, My Wynter Season, where he details his journey of grief and healing after suddenly losing his wife of 15 years. He and his daughter, Alena, joined us in 2019 right after the loss of Wynter to talk about grief and gratitude, so Gabe and I were excited to have him back to reflect and discuss how God has shown up in the midst of heartbreak, despair, and major life changes. If you or someone you know is walking through a season of loss and grief, we encourage you to check out My Wynter Season and listen to both of our conversations with Jonathan on the Rhythms for Life Podcast. LINKSCheck out Jonathan’s new book, My Wynter Season.Register for the Marriage & Parenting Renewal Retreat happening May 6-7.Ready to begin living in rhythm?
