Episode Notes

In this heartfelt episode of Morning Light, Pastor Mike Franklin reflects on the seasons of life, times of joy, times of sorrow, moments when we plant, and moments when we reap reminding listeners that God designed life to move in cycles. Speaking directly to those walking through grief, loss, or overwhelming difficulty, Mike encourages us not to drown in the emotional undertow but to acknowledge our pain, work through it, and trust that healing will come. Using Scripture and personal stories, he explains how grieving is a necessary part of restoration, much like breathing in oxygen and releasing what harms us. By shifting our focus from what we've lost to what we still have, embracing gratitude, and allowing ourselves to laugh again, we open the door for God's comfort and strength to guide us through the valley and bring us back into the light.
