Grieving With Hope

What If God Is Closer Than You Think?

What if God is closer than you think? Have you ever walked through a season where God felt distant? Maybe you’ve prayed, cried out through grief, loss, uncertainty, or heartbreak, and wondered, “God, where are You?” In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise shares how God’s presence is not determined by our feelings or circumstances. Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, she reminds listeners that God is often closest during the seasons when we feel Him the least. Through life’s deepest valleys—including loss, grief, and uncertainty—Denise has discovered that God never abandons His children. Even when we cannot see His hand, He is still present, still working, and still walking beside us. If you’ve been feeling alone, discouraged, or distant from God, this episode will encourage you to look beyond your circumstances and remember the promise of His presence. 📖 Scripture: “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 May this episode remind you that God has not left you, forgotten you, or stopped loving you. He may be closer than you think.

Why I Still Trust God

Have you ever been asked, “How can you still trust God after everything you’ve been through?” In this heartfelt episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise shares why her trust in God has never been based on circumstances, but on the unchanging character of God. After walking through the loss of her daughter, Jessica, the recent loss of her son, Joey, and many other difficult seasons, Denise reflects on the faithfulness of God that has carried her through it all. While she doesn’t have all the answers, she has discovered that trust isn’t built on understanding everything—it’s built on knowing the One who never fails. If you’re facing grief, loss, uncertainty, or a season that doesn’t make sense, this episode will remind you that you can trust God even when you don’t understand His plan. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…” — Proverbs 3:5-6 May this episode encourage you to keep your eyes on the God who remains faithful through every season.

Finding Peace in the Middle of the Storm

In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise shares encouragement from Mark 4:39 and reminds us that God’s peace is not dependent on our circumstances. True peace isn’t found when the storm is over; it’s found in the presence of Jesus while the storm is still raging. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of your pain, this episode is for you. Be encouraged to lift your eyes above the waves and remember that the One who calms the sea is still with you today. Scripture: Mark 4:39 “Peace, be still.” May this episode remind you that even in life’s darkest and most difficult seasons, God’s peace is available, His presence is near, and His grace is enough. 💛 Connect with Denise: Author | Certified Holistic Health Coach | Faith + Food Ministry

Grace When You Don’t Feel Strong

In this week’s episode of Grace in Every Season Podcast, I’m sharing from a very real and vulnerable place. Sometimes people think you’re strong simply because you keep showing up… but inside, you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, grieving, and brokenhearted. Since losing my son, there have been many moments where I have not felt strong at all. Yet through it all, I am learning that God’s grace truly is sufficient — even in weakness. If you are walking through grief, heartbreak, exhaustion, or a season where you feel like you have nothing left to give, I pray this episode encourages you and reminds you that you do not have to carry it all in your own strength. Scripture: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 This week’s episode: Grace When You Don’t Feel Strong 🌻
