Today, we recognize the anniversary of the day that forever changed our nation. It is a day to remember those who were lost and to walk alongside those who still grieve.

Yet often we don’t make space for grief–especially in the church. In Discipleship Conversations, Mission Alive hosts speak with Dr. Ben Ries, staff chaplain at Peacehealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver, Washington, about the importance of grief and lament. Why does grief matter in our faith? What happens when we ignore it? How can churches create spaces where people can grieve honestly and find hope?

Join us for this meaningful conversation on walking through sorrow with faith and community. https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/discipleshipconversations/#:~:text=https%3A//creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/discipleshipconversations/episodes/Space%2Dto%2DGrieve%2D%2DA%2DConversation%2Dwith%2DBen%2DRies%2De31bfjv
