Five Reasons Community is Important After Loss

Loss is difficult and lonely. Here are five ways community can help us deal with the pain of loss and thrive again.

How do we handle the pain of loss? Here's what Scripture has to say about Christ's power amidst our hope, grief, and everything in-between.

Life often makes us question if Christ is truly with us in our pain. We cry out, "Jesus, are You there?" Here's how we know He is with us.

In our seeking and sobbing, we so often forget that Christ is there in our midst—just as Mary Magdalene did. Here's what John 20:14-15 says.

Like Mary in John 20:13, we also know how it feels to face unspeakable disaster. But in Christ, there's more to it than meets the eye—hope.

Scripture doesn't hide the reality of our complex emotions from its pages. Here's what we can learn from Mary's grief before the good news.

April found community, belonging, and healing from the aftermath of her father’s murder. This is her story of why she came back to Jesus.

How do we follow Jesus when we don't know where we're going? The disciples weren't sure then, and we aren't sure now...but there's more to it.

What do we do when we're not happy with Jesus? We learn in John 11 as Christ reminds her of what we know to be true: death is not the end.
