Hello, beautiful!

Has anyone ever said to you, "It's okay, everything happens for a reason"?

Oh, friend. That phrase isn't in the Bible. It never was. And if your heart has been quietly carrying the question, "Why me, God?" — This episode is for you.

Today we're opening the book of Job — a man who lost almost everything in a single breath, sat in ashes, and asked the very question you may have whispered at 3 a.m.

We'll talk about what Job's friends got wrong (and what God Himself had to say about it), why asking "why me?" is not a lack of faith, and what the rod and the staff of Psalm 23 actually mean for you in the valley.

You'll Learn:

👣 Why "everything happens for a reason" isn't biblical — and what God Himself said to the friends who said it

👣 How to sit with someone in their ashes (and how to offer that same grace to yourself)

👣 What the rod and the staff of Psalm 23 actually are — and how they're working for you right now

👣 Three invitations for walking through the valley when you wish you could skip to the end

✨ Plus, a tender prayer, a Lauren Daigle lyric that may become your anthem this week, and the permission you've been waiting for to stop explaining your ashes.
