Have you ever grieved someone and felt guilty at the same time — like the sadness and the regret were too tangled up to sort out? Or wondered why life just keeps moving when part of your world has stopped?

Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes — but there's a third certainty just as unavoidable: loss. Whether you're walking through it right now or haven't been touched by it yet, grief finds every one of us eventually.

In this message, Malia opens up the story of King David in one of the most raw, unfiltered moments of his life — public grief, private regret, and a leadership crisis that forced him to face loss in front of everyone he was supposed to be strong for. It's an ancient story that still hits close to home for anyone who's mourned someone complicated, felt guilt tangled up with sadness, or wondered how life is supposed to keep moving when part of your world just stopped.

If you've ever needed permission to grieve honestly — or wondered where God actually is in the middle of loss — this one's worth your time.
