Last episode I shared the changes coming for Grief 2 Great Day to make sure you have a single place to call home in your grief journey.
And this week, we’ll touch on change. How uncomfortable it can be and how few of us enjoy change. What we don’t care about in grief is that with great change comes great growth if we’ll allow it to change us.
The changes coming for Grief 2 Great Day include taking the Grief 2 Great Day podcast from public to private.

Live Your Life Out LoudEp 23: Yom Kippur & Jesus: Understanding the Ultimate SacrificeIn this episode, Stefanie Thayer delves into the significance of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, within both Jewish and Christian traditions. She begins by discussing the Jewish calendar and key observances, such as Rosh Hashanah and the Days of Awe, which lead up to Yom Kippur. Stefanie explains that Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish year, focuses on repentance, atonement, and reconciliation with God and others. For Christians, Yom Kippur holds special meaning as a foreshadowing of Jesus' ultimate sacrifice, which replaces the need for ongoing sacrifices described in Levitical law.
