When Grief Won’t Wait: Faith, Community, and Tiny Steps Forward
In this deeply personal episode of The Redeemed Podcast, host Lauren Burns shares what it’s like to grieve the loss of her 16-year-old sister while real life—kids, work, meals, bills—doesn’t pause. Lauren offers practical ways to function through grief without stuffing it: tiny daily wins, honest prayer, and leaning on community instead of isolation. With Scripture, story, and a short prayer, this episode reminds you that grief is not a lack of faith—it’s a human response that God meets with comfort and strength. Grab Lauren’s free One Day at a Time Journal to steady your days.
You’ll hear about: coping mechanisms that actually help, why isolation backfires, how to invite safe people in, and how to keep hope alive when you’re exhausted.
