This episode is a space for comfort, faith, and encouragement — a reminder that even in the darkest moments, God is still near.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a Dear Media production. |
| 0:03.6 | Hello, and welcome back to the podcast. |
| 0:06.1 | Today's episode is going to be just a little different than what I had originally planned. |
| 0:11.2 | In light of the recent heartbreaking news involving Charlie Kirk, I felt it was important to pause |
| 0:16.7 | and acknowledge the weight that so many of us are carrying right now. |
| 0:21.4 | When senseless acts like this happen, it can stir up fear, grief, confusion, and questions |
| 0:27.8 | that don't always have answers. |
| 0:30.2 | My heart is to create space here today where you feel comforted and reminded that even in darkness, |
| 0:36.0 | there is light, that God is near, and that faith, hope, |
| 0:40.0 | and healing are possible, and we can lean into his promises together. So in today's episode, |

| 1:40.1 | How can I be true and let it out and express, but also live? |

| 1:55.1 | about these things, to be able to reflect on these things, to be able to share these things with somebody. I think that it, it, we can learn |
| 2:05.2 | from ourselves, we can learn from others in situations. And what are we going to do? What are we |
| 2:11.6 | going to do in that moment? And it oftentimes means just digging in your heels and saying, I've got to be strong. I can't be weak |
| 2:19.9 | in this situation. I have to make decisions. I have to act. I have to move forward. I cannot be |
| 2:28.2 | stuck here in this moment. And whatever that takes, whether it's counseling, whether it's talking to somebody, |
