The holiday season is often filled with joy, celebration, and togetherness, but for many, it can also stir deep feelings of loss, sadness, and longing. When you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, the festivities can feel overwhelming—or even unbearable. How do we navigate this season with such a heavy heart? Here are some ways to care for yourself during this challenging season.

You know that feeling when the weather alert interrupts your favorite show, warning of another storm heading our way? In Florida, we're no strangers to hurricane prep – the endless lines at grocery stores, the hunt for batteries, the strategic tetris of fitting our patio furniture through the garage door. But sometimes, the scariest part isn't the storm itself – it's the aftermath. Just as Jesus calmed the storm for His disciples, He offers peace in your toughest moments, too. Fear doesn’t have to have the last word. Here at Centerpoint Church, we’re here for you, offering resources, support, and the assurance that no one has to face life’s storms alone.

In the midst of life's uncertainties and challenges, anxiety can often grip our hearts and minds, threatening to overwhelm us. As followers of Jesus, we are called to trust in God's faithfulness and provision, even in the face of anxiety. Psalm 112 reminds us of the power of trusting God amidst our fears.

In the moment we are living through our deepest pain, it's natural to question whether God truly understands the extent of our suffering. Can God really understand our pain? As we wrestle with circumstances that seem unbearable, doubts about God's understanding and empathy may creep in, casting shadows on our faith.
