Amy Joob, author of Arise: From Grief and Flourish, shares her story of enduring what she calls “grief storms.” Just as she launched her ministry, she was devastated by the sudden loss of her father, followed closely by the loss of her church community. God guided her as she sought counsel and pursued healing through GriefShare. Amy faced another crushing blow when her brother died by suicide. She recounts how God met her through Scripture, prayer, and vivid moments of comfort, including rainbow reminders and visions of Jesus’ presence. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes the power of God's Word, the study of God’s character, honest lament, prayer, and her LEAPS framework for moving forward in grief.
