Deb’s Session

Grieving loss: finding hope through the holidays

The holidays can feel especially heavy after the loss of someone you love. While the world celebrates, your heart may be carrying sorrow, loneliness, and memories that make this season difficult to face. If you've ever wondered how to survive the holidays without your loved one, know that you are not alone.

Through Deb Hadley's personal story and years of walking alongside those who grieve, you'll discover practical, faith-filled ways to honor your loved one, navigate difficult moments, and find hope even in the midst of heartache. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that God draws near to the brokenhearted, offering His peace, comfort, and strength, one day at a time.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." — Psalm 34:18

Denise's Session

What if the detour is the destination?

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. Disappointment, heartache, shattered dreams, and unexpected turns can leave us asking, “God, where are you?” Through Denise’s journey, she has discovered that God never abandons us in the detours.

He is faithful at every turn and often uses the very roads we never would’ve chosen to lead us to His greatest purpose. Maybe the detour isn’t keeping you from God’s purpose, maybe it’s leading you to it.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105
