What do you do when life doesn’t unfold the way you prayed it would?

In this deeply personal Season 7 premiere of DIG DEEP: Conversations with Christian Leaders, Dr. Jaria returns after an extended pause to share her journey through grief, uncertainty, and faith in one of the most challenging seasons of her life.

From losing her father after a long battle following a stroke, to planning a wedding, relocating from Connecticut to Georgia, navigating a professional transition, and wrestling with spiritual inconsistency, this episode is an honest reflection on what it looks like to stay connected to God in the valley.

In this episode, Dr. Jaria shares:

• How grief disrupted her plans—and her faith rhythms
• Three simple ways she stayed connected to God when prayer felt hard
• The role of grace, therapy, journaling, and revisiting God’s past faithfulness
• Finding joy and honoring God even in seasons of loss

This conversation is for anyone tired, grieving, or trying to hold on to faith when life feels heavy.
