About this episode
On this week’s Mighty Monday, we explore something tender, honest, and deeply human: the gap between well-intentioned words and meaningful support.In this episode, I open up about the loss of my oldest daughter, Danielle, and the reality that some of the most powerful comfort we received didn’t come from advice, clichés, or attempts to make the pain smaller—it came from presence. Quiet. Steady. Compassionate presence.We also unpack a sermon I heard this past week from a guest pastor titled, “God Won’t Give You More Than You Can Handle.” It’s a phrase many of us have heard—and many of us have repeated—but the pastor challenged it with truth and humility. The message wasn’t that we are strong enough to carry everything life throws our way. The message was this:God will never give us more than He can handle.Pain, grief, and hardship aren’t evidence of weakness—they are invitations back to hope, faith, and connection.Before we dive in, I share a quick update:my new book releases in paperback December 1st on Amazon. I can’t wait for you to read it.Whether you're navigating your own storm or supporting someone else through theirs, this episode is an invitation to slow down, speak less, and love better.Paid PromotionsDeliverFund – Protecting the Vulnerable, Equipping the Protectors??????CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE??????This episode of the Gravity Podcast is brought to you by DeliverFund — a non-profit organization working every day to eradicate human trafficking in the United States.DeliverFund equips law enforcement officers and prosecutors with state-of-the-art intelligence, tools, and training — all free of charge — to help dismantle trafficking networks and rescue victims.
