How to Be a Redemptive Change Agent

I had no idea how hard it would be to lose someone you love - in stages. It tore me apart when my dear mom was put on hospice. Watching her decline steadily was heartbreaking and the gradual goodbye was physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting. Here are some helpful and encouraging things I learned as I walked with her through that deep valley, led by our Good Shepherd and Savior.


To Those Losing a Loved One: The Gradual Goodbye

God calls us to shine our light in a world that’s full of darkness. As we 
live out each day, our lives need to shine to bring attention to the Saviour King who will bring healing, restoration, unity, peace and hope to a world desperate for it. They just need us to light the way.

In this five-day Bible study, you’ll discover raw, fought-for spiritual wisdom and hope in Christ.
