As many know, Christmas is a time of wonder and worship! However, the reality is that it’s not always easy to make the choice to rejoice when your in the midst of hardship and suffering. Often times the holidays remind us that grief cannot be wished away. You see, although grieving the loss of a loved one is a deep and difficult challenge at any time, the holiday season can magnify our sense of loss and sorrow. Seasonal events can be painful reminders of the absence of loved ones, but at the same time, we can also incorporate comforting rituals where we connect with family and friends, focusing on good memories and trying to recapture our sense of joy. Joining us today is a dear friend who understands the pain, process, and magnitude of grief. Our guest today is world renowned Christian singer, songwriter, and lead vocalist of the band, Big Daddy Weave, Mike Weaver! In and throughout today’s conversation, you’ll hear Mike’s very real, authentic, and vulnerable journey as he continues to process his grief following the loss of his brother, Jay. However, our prayer throughout this episode is that you would be reminded to hold fast and cling tight to God’s promises even in the midst of life’s processes. Life may be hard. It may be difficult. And it for sure can be painful. But praise God we get to rest in the truth of Luke 2:10-11, “Fear not, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” My friends, no matter what you may be going through during this Christmas season, you’re never alone as the true reason for the season is always in your midst.
