What if your purpose is closer than you think?

So many people wrestle with questions of identity, worth, and where they truly belong. In a world full of noise, pressure, and competing messages, it’s easy to lose sight of how God uniquely designed you.

Marilyn Ravina shares a powerful biblical reminder: purpose is often uncovered through serving others.

Through the story of Dorcas and real-life lessons from teaching, ministry, and outreach, Marilyn reveals how God uses our gifts, experiences, and even our hardships to shape us into vessels of hope.

Your acts of kindness matter.
Your story matters.
Even your pain can become a purpose in God’s hands.

What may seem small now can carry eternal impact when surrendered to Him.

Join us as we rediscover how serving others helps define our identity in Christ and reveals the deeper purpose God has been building all along.

In Part 1 of When Love Grieves, Michell Medellin shared a deeply personal and biblical look at loss, drawing from Scripture and her own experience with separation, divorce, and recent grief.

She named what many feel but struggle to say: grief can bring despair, bitterness, and isolation.

And yet… Scripture shows us that sorrow and faith can exist together. Pain actually doesn’t push us away from God and can lead us toward Him.

With both compassion and conviction, Michell also challenged the church to become a safer place for the brokenhearted and
not a place where people feel they have to suffer in silence.

In Part 2, we’ll build on that foundation and begin exploring how to respond with practical care, deeper understanding, and Christlike presence for those walking through loss.

Michell Medellin is the founder of Separation. Divorce. Grief: How to Minister to the Brokenhearted in Your Pews©, a Christ-centered ministry equipping churches to care for those navigating separation, divorce, and loss. Her work grew out of her own lived experience, where she recognized a pattern many quietly endure in church spaces: shame, misunderstanding, and isolation during seasons that require the most support.

Through her writing, speaking, and resources, Michell is helping shift that culture. She brings both conviction and compassion, offering a vision where every church becomes a place of healing, restoration, and belonging. Her upcoming book, along with her devotional series and podcast, continues that mission, giving leaders and individuals practical ways to walk with others through grief with wisdom and grace.

Grief has a way of reshaping everything. It touches relationships, faith, identity, and even how we see God. In this upcoming Food for the Heart session, When Love Grieves, Michell Medellin opens Scripture with honesty and care, walking through the stories of people who faced deep loss and still encountered God in the middle of it.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵:
Together, we will look at what the Bible actually says about grief, how sorrow and faith can exist side by side, and what it means to seek God when life feels fractured. This is not abstract teaching. It is grounded, practical, and deeply human. Whether you are carrying your own loss or trying to show up well for someone else, you will leave with clearer language, stronger compassion, and a renewed sense of hope rooted in God’s heart for the brokenhearted.
