Finding Hope in the Sea of Grief
From Sorrow to a Growing Hunger for God
Holding onto hope while sinking into the stormy seas of grief can seem an insurmountable task. We are often told Family Life Radio becomes a life vest, pulling people back to faith and relationship with God, including a listener named Cheyenne. Her story is an example of the power of turning to God and community in our darkest hours.
Cheyenne’s Journey Through Grief
“After I lost my mom, it wrecked my whole world,” Cheyenne shared, her voice a reflection of the profound loss that had upended her life. In the wake of such sorrow, the future can seem bleak, the next steps uncertain. Yet, it was in these depths of despair that Cheyenne found a lifeline in Family Life Radio.
“I just feel like anytime I’m going through something and I listen to the radio, God’s talking to me,” she recounted.
This sense of conversations with God became a cornerstone of her healing, transforming her grief into a growing hunger for God. “I have a really big hunger for God now,” she said, a statement that echoes the desire many of us have to feel more deeply connected to our Creator, especially in times of turmoil.

The Power of Presence
Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (NIV). Cheyenne’s story reflects this promise. God was at work through the ministry of Family Life Radio, and she felt the closeness of God, a presence that guided her from despair to hope.
God speaks into our lives, often through the least expected channels, inviting us to find comfort and purpose in His embrace.
The influence of Cheyenne’s faith journey extended beyond her own spiritual awakening. Even her two-year-old recognizes and sings along with Family Life Radio, illustrating the profound impact of faith-filled media on all ages. God uses us to nurture the faith of future generations.
