Description

In this episode, Carrie M Holt explores one of the most misunderstood emotions in the grief cycle: anger. Whether it’s anger at a diagnosis, inaccessible systems, unfair treatment, or even at God Himself, Carrie reminds us that anger isn’t inherently sinful — but it is an invitation.

She walks through real examples from her own life (including her battles with accessible parking rage!) and shares three powerful choices we can make when anger rises:

1️⃣ Choose Curiosity — Ask, What is this really about?
2️⃣ Choose Connection — Resist comparison; suffering speaks a common language.
 3️⃣ Choose Coming — Bring anger to God, not away from Him.

With honesty, scripture, and hope, this episode equips weary hearts to process anger without shame — and to find healing in naming what hurts most.
