Making Room for Grief with Leanne Friesen

Jesus Collective Podcast

At Jesus Collective, we want to be a part of a movement that is trying to look more like Jesus in all things– and that even includes how we grieve. Author and pastor Leanne Friesen joins us to discuss her book ​‘Grieving Room,’ inspired by the loss of her sister to cancer. Leanne challenges common notions about grief, advocating for authentic emotional processing and the importance of rituals. She shares insights on supporting those in mourning, discusses how loss reshaped her pastoral approach and explores finding hope amidst pain. Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, or anyone navigating the difficult terrain of loss, this episode offers profound insights on creating space for authentic grieving and finding hope in the darkest moments. Join us for a conversation that will challenge, inspire, and provide practical guidance for walking alongside those in grief.
