“Faith in Difficult Times” - How to Walk through Grief - Marco Salazar

In this message, Pastor Marco takes us through Job 3, showing how easily we try to avoid pain, pretend we are fine, or fear that grief is a sign of weak faith. But the truth is, we cannot heal from the hurt we refuse to acknowledge. Through the honesty of Job and the compassion of Jesus, we discover that the goal isn't to avoid grief, but to bring our raw pain, questions, and sorrow into the presence of God and let others walk beside us.
