Today feels like a pause-and-smile kind of day. Th Today feels like a pause-and-smile kind of day.
The Oh, Good Grief podcast just crossed 500 downloads,
and I wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for listening.
For sharing episodes.
For the kind messages, reviews, texts, and handwritten notes.
For reminding me, again and again, that obedience to God’s quiet invitations is never wasted.

This podcast was born out of some very dark, tender seasons, and your encouragement has been such a gift along the way. God is so very good.

And since today feels like a good day to share this: we have OGG swag in the Simply Bloom shop! Two small-but-mighty bundles of scripture cards; verses that carried us through the hardest days, paired with beautiful photography and a gentle reminder on the back. They’re meant to help you slow down, meditate on God’s Word, and rest in His promises.

✨ $10 per bundle | $15 for both
✨ Podcast listeners get free shipping with code OGGPODCAST

Designed to encourage scripture memorization and daily reflection - steady reminders of hope, comfort, and truth, helping us struggle well and stay rooted.

From the bottom of my heart: thank you for walking this road with me. 💛
We were never meant to navigate life alone. Episo We were never meant to navigate life alone.

Sometimes faith feels less like victory and more l Sometimes faith feels less like victory
and more like breathing through the pain.

Still, we can rest in this truth:
the Master Potter can be trusted
with what feels broken beyond repair.

He has always been in the business
of shaping beauty from shards.

Perseverance isn’t merely surviving the pain; it’s Perseverance isn’t merely surviving the pain;
it’s letting the pressure shape something
lasting, beautiful, and redemptive within you.

Lean into the pressure.

Broken vessels still pour. Broken vessels still pour.
Worship and lament were never meant to cancel each Worship and lament were never meant to cancel each other out.
They can — and often do — live side by side.
And the kind of worship that rises in the midst of pain
is a costly, sacred offering God treasures.

Praise isn’t pretending everything is fine, it’s r Praise isn’t pretending everything is fine,
it’s remembering who God is, even when it isn’t.
It rarely changes our circumstances,
but it always changes our perspective.

What could shift in you
if you praised God for even one thing
you’ve been tempted to complain about?
