Episode 101: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn with Megan Fate Marshman

Good Hard Story Podcast

Blessed are those who mourn. Most of us have heard it over and over…but I know I’m not the only one wondering how this could be true in God’s kingdom.

Megan Fate Marshman will give you imagination for how the mourning and meek and poor in spirit might be called blessed…and might actually believe they’re blessed. This friend of mine has navigated the deepest kind of loss after her husband’s death in 2021. Since then, Megan has become a survival guide for grieving and healing with hope. She is navigating her “new normal” with incomparable grace, gratitude, and a steady trust in God’s good plan. Today she’s sharing how she’s managing to do that, and how you can too.

Here’s just a bit of the riches waiting for you if you listen:

• The surprising blessing of being needy
• Why we’ve got to be honest with God about our anger and anxiety
• Building your dream team of friends
• What “good” actually means, by God’s definition
• The role of spiritual rhythms in our soul formation

If you need a fresh vision for flourishing in the most difficult seasons, this episode is for you.

“The good things of God are chiefly peace of conscience and joy in the Holy Ghost in this life; fruition of God’s presence, and vision of his blessed face in the next, and these good things God never bestows upon the wicked, never withholds from the godly.” - Sir Richard Baker
