What's going on, everybody? I hope you're doing well. My name is Josh Carman. I've been a pastor for the last 15 years, and I have recently moved into the realm of full-time content creation. Now one of the things that I was thinking about as I was, you know, kind of writing a list of things to begin to record and make content for Faithbase was this idea of what it looks like to go through grief as people. You know, one of the things that I deal with the most when I'm talking with people either online or when I'm counseling people who are going through something is the notion of grief. If you have lived or have been paying attention to the news or anything that's been going on in the world recently, we know that grief is a big deal, and it is a part of life, and it is unavoidable in many instances, and the psalm that I kind of come back to all the time is Psalm 3418, where it talks about how the Lord is near and close to those who are brokenhearted. And so I don't know what you're walking through today, and I don't know if you are in a season of grief or if you're coming out of a season of grief, but what I do want to offer is this. If there's anything that I can do, if I can be praying for you, if I can be connecting with you through the direct messages, I would love to be able to kind of speak some life and some encouragement into your life, and so anything I can do to be helpful, I want to be here, but I hope you know that no matter what it is that you're walking through, that God is with you, He has not forsaken you, and He will continue to be with you in the midst of all of it.
