Beloved Women With Christina Patterson

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by grief coach and author Natasha Smith to talk about the often unspoken pain of grief and how to navigate it with faith. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, a broken dream, or simply walking through a hard season, this conversation will remind you that you're not alone. Natasha shares wisdom from her books Can You Sit With Me? and Black Woman Grief, and we dive into the different forms of grief, how to support others who are hurting, and how to trust God in the middle of it all. If you’ve ever asked, “Where is God in my pain?”—this episode is for you.
