Grief has a way of reshaping everything. It touches relationships, faith, identity, and even how we see God. In this upcoming Food for the Heart session, When Love Grieves, Michell Medellin opens Scripture with honesty and care, walking through the stories of people who faced deep loss and still encountered God in the middle of it.

Together, we will look at what the Bible actually says about grief, how sorrow and faith can exist side by side, and what it means to seek God when life feels fractured. This is not abstract teaching. It is grounded, practical, and deeply human. Whether you are carrying your own loss or trying to show up well for someone else, you will leave with clearer language, stronger compassion, and a renewed sense of hope rooted in Godโ€™s heart for the brokenhearted.

Michell Medellin is the founder of Separation. Divorce. Grief: How to Minister to the Brokenhearted in Your Pewsยฉ, a Christ-centered ministry equipping churches to care for those navigating separation, divorce, and loss. Her work grew out of her own lived experience, where she recognized a pattern many quietly endure in church spaces: shame, misunderstanding, and isolation during seasons that require the most support. Through her writing, speaking, and resources, Michell is helping shift that culture. She brings both conviction and compassion, offering a vision where every church becomes a place of healing, restoration, and belonging. Her upcoming book, along with her devotional series and podcast, continues that mission, giving leaders and individuals practical ways to walk with others through grief with wisdom and grace.

Finding healing, truth, and growth through the hidden patterns in his story

What if the story of Joseph holds more than perseveranceโ€ฆ but a pathway to healing? Josephโ€™s life was marked by betrayal, loss, and long seasons of waiting. Yet through it all, God was at work. In this session, Jarod will walk us through how God uses repeated experiences not to harm us, but to shape us. Youโ€™ll see how truth-telling, healing, and spiritual growth often come through the very places we once tried to avoid.

Heโ€™ll also be sharing a free web app to help you assess your attachment style in your relationship with God.

Is this Godโ€ฆor am I reading into things?

What if the thing youโ€™ve been calling a โ€œsign from Godโ€ is actually pulling you away from Him? Many sincere believers live in quiet tension, trying to decode every circumstance as proof of Godโ€™s approval or disapproval. It can feel spiritual, but it often leads to anxiety, confusion, and distance from Him.

Savanna will walk us through how to move from unstable, feeling-based interpretations of life to something solid. Youโ€™ll see how God has already made His heart clear, and how trusting His Word brings peace where overthinking once ruled.
