Have you ever known in your head that God is good, but struggled to feel it in your heart?

Maybe you’re carrying grief, navigating an unexpected change, or praying about something that remains unresolved.

On this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, author and poet Laura Wifler shared something that stayed with me: sometimes we need someone else to hold hope for us—to pray, sit beside us, and remind us of truth when we’re struggling.

In our conversation about her poetry collection, This Side of the Sky, we talk honestly about grief, growing older, and how the hope of heaven shapes our lives today. Laura reminds us that we don’t have to explain our suffering or recognize what God is doing in every moment to remain faithful.

If life feels heavy right now, I hope you’ll listen. My prayer is that this conversation helps you feel understood and encouraged to take your next faithful step.
