    Grief is something we all experience, yet so many of us don’t know how to process it in a healthy way. In today’s episode of The Way of Valor, I sit down with Cole James, President of the Grief Recovery Method, to discuss powerful and practical steps for overcoming grief. Cole’s journey started with a personal tragedy in his family, which led to the creation of the Grief Recovery Method, a step-by-step system that has helped thousands worldwide find healing.

    In this conversation, we explore why unresolved grief affects every aspect of life, from parenting and relationships to personal well-being. Cole shares how society often suppresses emotions, leading to painful cycles of avoidance, distraction, and unprocessed grief. If you've ever felt stuck in sadness, struggling to move forward after a loss or major life change, this episode will give you actionable tools to break free.

    We also discuss how parents can help children navigate grief, and why it’s essential to heal our own wounds so we don’t unknowingly pass them on. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a career, or even a dream that didn’t come true, this episode is for you.

  • 169: Finding Strength in the Pain: Lessons on Obedience and Faith
    Jan 28 2025

    Send us a text

    Today, I’m opening up about a deeply personal journey. In this season of life, I’ve found myself in the valley—a place of struggle, hard decisions, and deep reflection. While I’d love to only share the highlights, the truth is God has been refining me in the fire, teaching me powerful lessons through obedience and surrender.

    This episode dives into what it looks like to give God your “fish and loaves” and trust Him with the miraculous outcomes. I’ll reflect on past experiences, like when He called me to start Valor in South Korea, even when I thought I had no capacity left. The truth is, God doesn’t ask us to have it all figured out—He simply asks us to show up in faith and let Him do the rest.

    We’ll also explore the beauty of pain as a refining tool. No matter how difficult the valley feels, there’s purpose in the process. I’ll share practical wisdom, biblical insights, and personal stories to encourage you to lean into God’s plan and trust Him to turn your trials into testimonies. Let’s embrace faithfulness together, even in the hard seasons.
