From Paralyzed by Grief to Purified by God

Andrea Bear felt paralyzed by grief when her mom passed away five years ago. She refers to this loss as an unplaced love that never goes away.

Andrea has always been a "doer" but discovered there was nothing she could do to escape missing her beloved mother. Andrea listened as God drew her into prayer and to just "being" with Him.

Andrea has experienced profound healing from God through prayer. She refers to this purification as "life-changing" and "a turning point" in her life.

Andrea is the author of “The Grieving Daughter’s Club" and will soon be starting a new podcast called "Mourning Glory."

Giving the Gift of You: Dying to Self with Father Jon Meyer, Chaplain of Mamas in Spirit

Learn how to give your life away like Christ and live in the profound freedom and joy of the Lord.

In this Easter podcast, Chaplain Father Jon Meyer and Lindy Wynne share personal stories about their experiences of dying to self and discovering the supernatural love of God. Father Jon explores his call into priesthood, while Lindy speaks of the ways she has been sharpened as a mother (Lindy is a mother through adoption and two of her children have special needs).

We are called to self-gift in both our Vocational calls, as well as little dyings to self in our daily lives. May we be emptied of ourselves so that God can fill us with just what we need to love beyond measure.

Losing My Baby Girl with Elizabeth Abaray

Elizabeth Abaray shares the story of losing her beloved baby girl, Delia Grace, and the unfathomable sorrow of losing a child. She talks about how when we allow God to change us through our suffering, we become more of who God created us to be.

Elizabeth explores the importance of walking with one another and using our pain for the greater glory of God.

Elizabeth has written a children’s book "Hugs for You, Kisses for You." It is a resource for children ages seven and under to support them during times of loss and to help them to know that nothing--not even death--can separate us from those we love.
