Woman Redeemed: A Conversation on Grief ft. Rebecca Pichardo

On this episode of Woman Redeemed, I am so incredibly honored to introduce the lovely, genuine, and incredibly wise- Rebecca Pichardo.

Today's conversation is one of the heaviest and most emotional that I have had on this podcast, but it is also one of the most necessary. Grief is real, unfortunately, and it is something we all experience many times in our lives. But grief is also one of the conversations we tend to shy away from. We are afraid that if we talk about it, it will become real, and that scares us. 

With vulnerability that inspires and wisdom that teaches, Sister Pichardo shares her own journey with grief. She shares how grief teaches, how it changes, and how Jesus uses it as a tool to show us our need for a merciful and loving God.  

To all those who are walking with grief, this is a gift of encouragement from our hearts to yours. May you know that the heaviness of this pain will lessen over time, there is light at the end of this dark season, and that we serve a powerful and good God. One who will take all of our pain and use it for His purpose. 

Verses from Today's Episode:

•  And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. - 2  Corinthians 12:9 NKJV
• But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God,
  The Holy One of Israel, your Savior... - Isaiah 43:1-3 NKJV
