<p>Grief doesn&#39;t just take the person you love—it can also take the one person who knew you most deeply.</p><p>In this deeply personal episode, Jay reflects on one of the hidden losses of widowhood: losing the person who witnessed your heart, spoke life into your calling, and reminded you of who you were becoming.</p><p>After sharing updates from a season filled with transition—including preparing to step away from pastoring, writing new books, and welcoming a new grandson—Jay explores how grief quietly attacks identity, purpose, and belonging.</p><p>If you&#39;ve ever wondered...</p><p>• Who am I now?</p><p>• Does my life still matter?</p><p>• Who really knows me anymore?</p><p>...this conversation is for you.</p><p>Discover why grief often disguises itself as doubt, why remembering how your loved one saw you can become a healing practice, and why God&#39;s voice remains the truest foundation for your identity.</p><p>Scripture Reflection: While this episode centers on personal reflection, its heartbeat reminds us that we are fully known by God, even when we deeply miss being known by someone we loved.</p><p>As always, Jay reminds us:</p><p>God is good.
