How to Survive the Death of a Dream

About this episode

This episode discusses how to cope with the loss of a dream and the process of restoration through faith.

What do you do when the very promise you prayed for dies in your arms? In this powerful message from 2 Kings 4, we walk through the story of the Shunammite woman—her miracle son, his sudden death, and the God who restores what feels impossible. If you’ve ever faced disappointment, grief, or the crushing loss of a dream, this message will help you understand that the restoration of a soul is a process—and God is present in every stage. Learn how to name your “deaths,” claim your “births,” grieve what you’ve lost, and embrace the new reality God is forming in you. From Good Friday to Easter, from the Ascension to Pentecost, discover how to take your loss to the upper room—and allow the Spirit to breathe life into what feels beyond hope.
