Welcome! The School of Grief Course starts on April 21, 2026. Registration is still open if you know others that would benefit from this course. I'm grateful that you're here and can't wait to go through the course together! You can access our Live Zoom Teaching call by clicking on the blue Zoom image below.
Click on the Zoom image on the right to connect to our LIVE Zoom Teaching for Week 2: "The Best & Worst Things to Say to Those in Grief," which begins at 12 pm (noon) PST on April 28th. Notice there is a passcode to enter which is: grief
Our theme is the word "FLOURISH," based on Psalm 92. We're here to help you thrive, grow and bear fruit, rather than just survive. This is done by being firmly planted in God's word and plan for your life. Here you will learn to flourish amidst life's challenges, growing in your faith, and living victoriously.
We will show a short video clip from an interview I did recently with Kay Warren about her experience with grief and loss. Kay is an author, grief and mental health advocate, co-founder of Saddleback Church and the founder of "Hope for Brighter Tomorrows."
