  71. How to Know You've Truly Forgiven Someone

  Sep 27, 202641 min

  Learn how to tell whether you've truly forgiven someone, and why forgiveness is where grief is meant to lead. In this season finale, Bryson and counselor Randy Hemphill explain forgiveness as the removal of punishment, not consequences. They talk through forgiving people who never apologize, setting boundaries that aren't punishment, forgiving yourself, and even releasing the anger we hold against God. Bryson shares a deeply personal story of forgiveness, and Randy uses his Kilimanjaro climb to show why this final push of grief is worth it. Think of one person you're still punishing and take one small step toward releasing them this week, then share this episode with someone who's carrying the same weight.

  70. The Emotion You Feel You're Not Allowed to Bring to God (But Should)

  Sep 20, 202640 min

  Learn how to move from reacting in anger to expressing it in a way that strengthens your relationships instead of damaging them. In this episode, Bryson and Randy get practical about healthy anger — defining it as emotional assertiveness, walking through how to set boundaries without exploding or imploding, and unpacking why opposite personality types (anger-doorway and sadness-doorway) need each other in relationships. They also dig into anger toward God, using Psalm 109 and Isaiah 57 to show how honest anger can lead to self-awareness and even worship. If you've been holding your anger in — or letting it spill out sideways — try Randy's practice this week: write your own psalm of anger, moving from honesty to self-awareness to worship.

  69. Explosive, Implosive, or Healthy? Making Sense of Your Anger

  Sep 13, 202633 min

  Anger isn't a sin — it might be one of the most misunderstood gifts God gave you. Bryson and counselor Randy dig into anger as it relates to grief: why it gets such a bad reputation, how it's actually rooted in love ("anger is love disappointed"), and the difference between healthy anger (emotional assertiveness) and its two unhealthy extremes — explosive and implosive. They also connect unprocessed anger to depression and anxiety, and talk through what it looks like to express anger well in marriage, friendship, and with God. If you've spent your life believing anger is your biggest flaw, this episode might just reframe it as your greatest asset — pass it along to someone who needs that same freedom. In this episode : 00:00 Anger Isn't the Enemy 00:43 Season Recap on Grief 01:56 Why Anger Feels Sinful 02:20 Anger as a Hammer 03:24 Love Disappointed 06:44 God's Anger vs Ours 08:52 Healthy Anger Is Assertive 10:14 Anger in Marriage Talks 13:58 Anger as Grief Companion 15:14 Boundaries Need Anger 16:21 Jesus And Anger 17:03 Anger Reveals Values 18:38 Parenting Doorways Balance 19:57 Let Anger Breathe 21:52 Exploding Vs Imploding 23:40 Anger Depression Link 26:03 Ephesians Four Framework 28:24 Reframing And Prayer 32:11 Closing And Next Episode Links: Get the book, We Grieve Our Losses by Randy Hemphill: https://randyhemphill.com/books This week's Resources: https://randyhemphill.com/resources ✅Follow Randy: https://www.instagram.com/hemphillrandy/ ✅ Follow Clover + Bee: https://www.instagram.com/shopcloverandbee/ ✅ Follow Honey for Your Heart: https://www.instagram.com/honey_for_your_heart/

  68. From Stuck to Worship: What Lamenting Does That Complaining Can't

  Sep 6, 202634 min

  Expressing sadness isn't weakness — it might be one of the most worshipful things you do. In this episode, Bryson and Randy dig into why sadness feels like the harder emotion to access (especially for those wired toward anger or control), the generational and cultural lies many of us were handed about tears meaning weakness, and Randy's practical "blue journal" practice for safely naming grief in small containers of time. They close by walking through what it means to hold grief and gratitude together, and how Biblical hope lets a loss mark us without defining us. If sadness has felt like something to avoid rather than express, let this be your invitation to set a 10-minute container this week and see what surfaces — and if it hits home, send it to a friend who needs permission to feel, too. Chapter Timestamps: 00:00 – Why Sadness Matters 01:02 – Series Recap and Focus 02:07 – Why Sadness Feels Hard 03:00 – Unhealthy Messages Learned 04:33 – Generational and Male Tears 06:57 – Fears That Keep Us Silent 08:50 – The Cost of Suppression 10:49 – Grief and Gratitude Overlap 12:43 – When Gratitude Becomes Avoidance 15:27 – Lamentations 3 and Hope 17:56 – Lament Versus Complaining 19:03 – Job And The Psalms 20:55 – Emotions In Worship 21:56 – Practicing Sadness With God 23:51 – Making Space For Tears 26:04 – Blue Journal Containers 28:04 – Biblical Hope In Sorrow 30:06 – Prayer And Closing Links: Get the book, We Grieve Our Losses by Randy Hemphill: https://randyhemphill.com/books This week's Assessment: https://randyhemphill.com/resources ✅Follow Randy: https://www.instagram.com/hemphillrandy/ ✅ Follow Clover + Bee: https://www.instagram.com/shopcloverandbee/ ✅ Follow Honey for Your Heart: https://www.instagram.com/honey_for_your_heart/

  67. The Doorway Emotion You Didn't Know You Had

  Aug 30, 202625 min

  What if sadness isn't something to fear, but a doorway to healing? Bryson and Randy continue their season on grief by digging into emotions — specifically, why sadness gets such a bad rap and what it actually does for us. They unpack Randy's concept of a "doorway emotion" (the one you default to — anger or sadness), why the emotion that isn't your doorway is usually the one you're most afraid of, and what happens when sadness gets buried instead of expressed. If you've been avoiding sadness because it feels weak, this episode might just change your mind — and if it does, send it to a friend who needs permission to feel it too. In this episode: 00:00 — Sadness as a Gift 00:28 — Episode Three Kickoff 00:52 — Recap and Today's Focus 01:20 — Why Emotions Feel Risky 02:39 — Doorways Not Destinations 03:09 — Finding Your Doorway Emotion 05:49 — What Sadness Really Does 06:30 — Fears of Sadness and Anger 08:07 — Avoiding Sadness Fuels Control 09:57 — Where Unfelt Sadness Goes 11:49 — Anxiety Depression Connection 12:21 — Depression and Anxiety 12:58 — Psalms and Lament 13:49 — God Wants Honesty 15:40 — Sibling Loss and Grief 17:59 — Jesus Wept Theology 19:26 — Doorway Emotion Quiz 21:30 — Prayer for the Listener 23:48 — Weekly Wrap and Next Week Links: Get the book, We Grieve Our Losses by Randy Hemphill: https://randyhemphill.com/books This week's Assessment: https://randyhemphill.com/resources ✅Follow Randy: https://www.instagram.com/hemphillrandy/ ✅ Follow Clover + Bee: https://www.instagram.com/shopcloverandbee/ ✅ Follow Honey for Your Heart: https://www.instagram.com/honey_for_your_heart/
