  • And If Not, He Is Still Good
  • You Don’t Have to Be Enough
  • He Restores My Soul: What Does That Really Mean?

WHAT IF YOU GAVE YOURSELF A WEEKEND TO REST, REMEM WHAT IF YOU GAVE YOURSELF A WEEKEND TO REST, REMEMBER, AND WORSHIP? 🤍

Registration is open for the 2027 Hope Mommies Retreat, happening February 26–28!

This year, we’ll gather around the words of Psalm 23: “He Restores My Soul.” Together, we’ll make space for the reality of grief while looking toward the Good Shepherd who meets us in the valley, walks with us, and faithfully restores weary souls.

And we are so honored to welcome Tiffany Stein as our retreat speaker. She knows the ache of loss personally. Her son, David, is with the Lord, and she understands the complicated road of walking with God through devastating grief.

You may remember Tiffany from Episode 72 of the Hope Mommies Podcast, where she joined us for a deeply honest conversation about grief, lament, disappointment with God, and what it looks like to keep walking with Him after devastating loss.

We’re so grateful that she’ll be bringing that same honesty, wisdom, and love for Scripture to our retreat this February. 🤍

And we’re equally excited to have Katie Kresge joining us again this year as our musician and worship leader. Together, we’ll lift our voices in worship, make room for lament, remember our babies, and turn our hearts toward the Shepherd who is with us in every valley.

✨ Early Bird Registration: $395 through September 30
✨ Regular Registration: $445 beginning October 1
✨ Payment plans are available

Whether you come with friends or arrive not knowing a single person, there is a place for you here.

Come bring your grief.
Come remember your baby.
Come worship.
Come rest.
Come be reminded that you are not walking through the valley alone.

Early Bird registration ends September 30!

“Is He still good?” For those of us who have buri “Is He still good?”

For those of us who have buried a baby, that question isn’t theoretical.

We may believe God is good—and still wrestle with what that means when He didn’t answer the prayer we begged Him to answer.

Scripture never promises us a life untouched by suffering. But it does promise us something else:

God will be with us in it.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego knew God could save them from the fire. But they also knew He was worthy of their trust if He didn’t.

“But if not…”

That kind of faith doesn’t mean we understand. It doesn’t mean the loss doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t mean we stop asking questions.

It means we anchor ourselves to what we know is true about God when our circumstances feel like they are telling us something different.

Mama, if you are walking through the fire today, you are not alone.

Jesus is not distant from your sorrow. He is a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And because He rose again, death will not have the final word.

If He does not answer as we prayed,
He is still good.

If He does not spare us from the fire,
He is still good.

If our lives look nothing like the lives we once imagined,
He is still good.

Not because we can explain the pain.

Because He is who He says He is. 🤍

One of the hardest parts of carrying on after misc One of the hardest parts of carrying on after miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss is that grief doesn't just take our babies. It often takes the future we imagined, the assumptions we held about life, and sometimes even the certainty we thought we had about how God works. 

In this episode, Kelly Ransdell and I have an honest conversation about the difference between expectations and promises, and why that distinction matters so much when we're grieving. Because after our babies die, it can be so easy to wonder: Did God fail me, or did He fail to do something He never actually promised to do?

Together, we talk about what God never promised us, what He has promised us, and how loss often forces us to wrestle with the difference. We discuss suffering, God's presence in the valley, the way grief reshapes our faith, and how loss changes the way we read Scripture, worship, and pray. If you've ever struggled to trust God after the death of your baby, questioned His goodness, or wondered what remains true when your world falls apart, this conversation is for you.
