Title: The “Shoulds” That Sink Us: Untangling Guilt in Grief
Summary: In this episode, Carrie M. Holt discusses the complex emotions of guilt that often accompany the grieving process. She unpacks the difference between conviction (from the Holy Spirit) and accusation (from the enemy), and how the “shoulds” we carry pull us deeper into shame and self-judgment.
Carrie offers practical advice for managing guilt, including the importance of rest, replacing lies with truth, relinquishing control, and reveal – giving our feelings to God. This episode concludes with a powerful reminder of the listener’s identity in Christ, encouraging them to embrace their worth and value as God’s beloved children.
