Episode 193: When Faith Meets Grief: Abraham’s Journey in Genesis 23
In this episode of The Today Counts Show, host Jim Piper Jr, Matt Martin, and Winston Harris walk through Genesis 23, one of the most emotional and significant chapters in Abraham’s life—the death of Sarah. This episode explores what happens when faith meets grief, and how Abraham models strength, honor, and clarity during one of the deepest losses a person can face.
The guys unpack the spiritual, cultural, and leadership implications of Abraham’s response: his intentional grieving, his integrity in securing a burial place, and the way he honors both God and Sarah in a moment of sorrow. This story invites us to consider how our own faith holds up in seasons of pain, transition, and decision-making.
Whether you’re navigating loss or leading others through difficult seasons, this conversation offers perspective, wisdom, and hope rooted in Scripture.
