CROSSROADS CHURCH
About this episode
During times of grief, it is easy (and sometimes tempting) to look for comfort anywhere we can get it—in a sign, a message, or someone claiming the ability to reach our loved ones. In this episode, Megs and Kelley explain why this type of comfort never lasts, what’s going on in our brains that drives us to superstition, and why true hope can only be found in Christ. When we let go of our superstitions, then we can begin to truly heal.
