172. How do I handle the ones that didn't make it?

About this episode

Rodney Holmstrom discusses how to cope with the loss of individuals in the Celebrate Recovery ministry.

In this ministry, we can find that it doesn't always have a pretty ending and can be heart wrenching to walk-through. Thankfully, this doesn't happen the majority of the time, but it does happen from time to time and we need to prepare hearts for if it does. In this episode Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of celebrate recovery, will walk us through some important reminders to equip us in handling the deepest pain of losing someone that we walked along side and shepherded, maybe in death or relapse, etc. How do we heal and take our hearts to the Lord? How can we possibly keep going and what God has called us to in our ultimate purpose and mission? Listen to some important points to equip us in these rare but important possibilities. IMPORTANT: If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal ideation or self-harm please seek help and consider professional attention if needed. Dial 988 to talk to a professional to be a bridge toward the help that you deserve.
