Healing Journeys with Jesus
- Are you feeling lost and overwhelmed after a painful loss? - Do you wonder if God is still present in your struggles? - Are you craving real, faith-filled stories of healing and hope? - Do you need guidance on how to trust God with your pain? Healing Journeys with Jesus shares the inspirational stories of those who’ve endured their darkest moments and discovered God’s grace along the way. Each episode is packed with real-life experiences, Biblical insights, and actionable steps to help you navigate your own healing journey. Whether you’re wrestling with loss, grief, or life’s unexpected challenges, this podcast will guide you through the process of trusting God and finding hope again. I’m Laura Shaw, a Christian Life Coach, Trauma and Grief Mentor, mom of four, widow, and follower of Jesus. For years, I tried to push through my grief alone, thinking I had to be strong for everyone else. It wasn’t until I surrendered my pain to God and leaned into His promises that true healing began. Now, I help others through their grief and struggles, walking alongside them as they rediscover hope, joy, and purpose with God at the center.
