In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Stephen Ongo, a 41-year ministry veteran who lost his wife Susan suddenly in 2011 and spent eight months in grief so heavy it was pulling him toward hopelessness. Then God gave him a dream that changed everything. Through Isaiah 53:4, “Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering,” Stephen was delivered overnight from what he now calls the spirit of heaviness. We talk about the difference between normal grief and a grief that will not lift, why you will never find God in the “why” but you will always find Him in trust, and how two words from Paul, “in Christ,” became Stephen’s obsession and the foundation of his 28-book discipleship series. If you have been carrying grief far longer than it should last, I believe this conversation will speak directly to you.
