Grief that lingers. Pain that remains or resurfaces. The pressure to move on.
In this episode of Finding Hope, Charlie welcomes the Rev. Billy Cerveny for a conversation about the lasting impact of loss and the comfort of knowing that God doesn't expect us to be “over it” by a certain time.

Sometimes the battle isn't what is happening around you. Sometimes the battle is what you're beginning to believe because of what is happening around you.

In Part 2 of Guard Your Heart, Charlie and Jill talk about holding on to what you know about God, even when life hasn't turned out the way you expected. Don't let what happened to you determine what you believe about God. Your loss will always be part of your story, but it doesn't change who God is.

The enemy wants to use grief, pain, and disappointment to change what you believe about God.

Grief can leave you feeling unseen and alone—especially when the deepest parts of your pain are hidden from everyone around you.

Beginning with the story of Hagar, Charlie and Jill share the reminder that you don’t have to hide your grief from God. He sees every tear, hears every cry, and understands the sorrow you may not even have words to express.

Even when no one else sees the depth of your pain, God does—and He doesn’t just see it from a distance. He meets you in it.

You believed for healing, but the loss still came—and now you’re living with questions you can’t resolve.

In this episode of Finding Hope, Charlie and Jill sit down with longtime friend and Bible teacher Tony Cooke to talk about the complicated grief that can follow when questions linger and how to begin moving forward by trusting God even when there are things you simply do not know or understand.

For days, you’re carried by necessity. There are decisions to make, things to do, and the funeral itself. From the outside, it may even look like you’re doing remarkably well.

And then life begins to return to normal for those around you.

In this episode of Finding Hope, Charlie and Jill talk about what happens when all the activity surrounding a loss grows quiet—and why it’s important for us to keep showing up long after everyone else has gone home.

The person you lost occupied a real place in your life—and that relationship doesn’t suddenly become meaningless when they die.

Their absence matters because the relationship mattered.
In this episode of Finding Hope, Charlie and Jill are joined by longtime friends Butch and Julieann Hartman. Butch, creator of The Fairly OddParents, shares about the sudden loss of his longtime friend and composer, Guy Moon, while Julieann shares candidly about losing her mother.

Through their stories, they talk honestly about what it’s like to live with the empty space someone leaves behind. Although the person you love is no longer here, the love you shared, the memories you carry, and the impact of their life remain.
