Most of us don't like to dwell on sad things. When something tragic comes across our newsfeed, we read it quickly and then keep scrolling, looking for something more uplifting. But Pastor Mike is challenging us to slow down and embrace feelings of godly grief.

If you want to pursue a deeper relationship with God, be sure to request the book The Pursuit of God by A. W. Tozer.
