About this episode

Michael LeBlanc shares his testimony and discusses the connection between grief and doubt, emphasizing God's love in difficult times.

Of all the things I love about Shepherds is that, as your pastor, I get to be very real with all of you. Today I want to share a part of my testimony and talk honestly about something many of us experience but rarely discuss—the connection between grief and doubt. Grief has a way of shaking us. It can stir questions we didn’t expect and doubts we never thought we’d have. But those moments don’t place us outside of God’s love—they often become the very places where we encounter it most deeply. My hope is that by the end of this conversation, we’ll be more prepared for when grief comes, more comfortable admitting our doubts, and above all convinced that there is no grief, no fear, and no darkness greater than the love of God. Passage: Romans 8:35-39 CEB
