Seasons of Sorrow | Tim Challies, Todd Friel

[@LivingWaters]

Truly Heartbreaking. I love Tim Challies. Looking forward to this interview -Mark Spence

[@lukewarmnomore7523]

I'm just surprised comments are opened

[@Vitamortis.]

hi Mark I enjoy your commentaries and other content on LW

[@RandomChristianMusings]

@@lukewarmnomore7523 Me, too. Shocking...

[@RandomChristianMusings]

@@Vitamortis. I've been using Ray Comfort's approach when sharing The Lord with those who are lost. I find it's most effective. Peace. ❤

@@clcagwin and you know how?

[@Mimzarooni]

I’m overwhelmed. Tim Challies has honored our Lord God in a way that I am sure He is as proud of Tim’s righteousness, just as He was Job’s. Tim conveyed the message that though the Lord slay him, he will continue to trust. What a testimony! Praise God through whom all blessings flow!

[@chrisnelson9031]

Thank you Wretched for this episode. God has blessed me deeply with Tim's willingness to share his most sorrowful time of his life. My family and I are still grieving the tragic loss of our three year old daughter almost 18 months ago. Like Tim, God has shown us his goodness and His faithfulness. We miss her beyond words, and long for the day that we will all be in the presence of our lord and savior Jesus Christ together. Until then, we continue to rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer. Thank you again, and I am definitely buying Tim's book! God Bless!!

[@melodysledgister2468]

I can relate to both of you. It is still early in your grief journey. Trust God and the process.

[@WretchedNetwork]

Chris, we are so sorry to hear about your daughter. We are praying for comfort and peace for your family. - Wretched Team

[@annieharrison851]

My husband and I are in our first year of marriage and have recently suffered a miscarriage. Thank you for sharing your story. Your book and your honesty is greatly appreciated.

[@jerryspidell2331]

What a painful start. We also lost two to miscarriage. Then we had 21 wonderful years with our only living child then she died. It has been many years of pain but there have been many many blessings along the way. Let this experience draw you closer to Jesus our eternal hope. Suffer well. I will pray for you. Psalm 121:1-2 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

[@Tyler.M.Anderson]

Our 7 month old daughter went to be with the Lord 3 weeks ago. We are in a similar season and have found Tim’s writings so helpful. Thank you both, Tim and Todd. Praying for continued comfort for the Challies family.

That manifesto…! So beautiful!

[@totallyamazingskinrf]

It's been 17 years since our 24 year old daughters sudden death, yet this interview of Tim and his 'Seasons of Sorrow' are spot on and, I would think must read ESPECIALLY for anyone wanting to have real understanding and compassion when loving and caring for grieving parents. I will be purchasing several copies to share.

[@ab.5650]

Oh my, every parent's fear. I pray this book will be a great blessing to many. 🙏

[@Luke_1-37]

Wow...amen. God is good. And we will always praise Him.

[@ruthseilern5400]

What a remarkable man Tim Challies is! He leans on HIS ABBA, HIS FATHER and he trusts HIM completely! May GOD comfort His soul for the seasons to come! GOD ALMIGHTY will bring Tim Challies out of the loss of his son Nick victoriously! I pray that Almighty GOD in HIS divine Providence use Tim Challis mightily to GLORIFY HIM. ALMIGHTY GOD, please Bless Tim Challies and his beloved wife and his beloved daughters abundantly in each area of their lives. May GOD comfort their hearts and souls through His Word and strengthen them by the Power of the Holy Spirit who dwells within them. One day Tim Challies and his loved ones will be gathered in Heaven with our Precious Savior, the LORD JESUS CHRIST who loves us most! Glory to GOD in the Highest!!!

[@paultautges6432]

This is so helpful, Todd. Thank you for taking time to talk with Tim and for sharing that conversation with us. I am sharing this with several people in our church.

[@NoName101]

My Papa just died 21 days ago and this really ministered to me. Thank you 🤍

[@mollymouseketeer]

"You'll never get over it but you will learn to get on with it." What a profound and encouraging statement. Thank you so much for sharing Nick with us, Tim. Having your faith in Jesus Christ so anchored in your soul is really the message we all must take away as you're right - it will come one day to your home too.

[@donnadigregorio4593]

Thank you Tim for having this interview with Todd. You both have blessed us with this. May the Lord bless you both and your families. I ordered your book and thank you for writing.

[@cherylgeary5591]

I am grateful and thankful to listening to Tim and Todd with the particular of "how long one should grieve a loved one gone to be with Jesus", I believe this is a point that has been the most painful for me in the loss of my husband of 34 yrs. I go through spurts of grieving because of the understanding that since He is with Jesus, I shouldn't feel pain. Guess what, after 10 months, yesterday, I am still feeling pain. I know where my husband is, however, I am missing him. Too much loss has happened in such a brief time that I haven't been able to catch up.

[@allynheyes6233]

Beautiful tistimony of God's faithfullness. Thank you Todd for the wonderful interview with Tim. ....Allyn

[@longing4heaven24.7]

I too lost my first born son. He was 26 yrs old. Ive never felt anything so painful and strange really. Ive longed for heaven ever since.

[@musicislove703]

Another encouraging interviews! Love the work you all are doing at Wretched. Been following you for over a decade and am so blessed by how the Lord uses this ministry.

Quit looking to others for encouragement 😆😆😆

[@CharleneBurgos]

I really enjoy Tim Challies. He’s a gift from the Lord to the body of Christ. The Lord is good!

[@jessyjonas4988]

Amen brother Grounded in scriptural promises

[@gustavonilson]

God is so good that He desired to have us - even though we dropped the ball big time - have fellowship with Him once again. For this reason, He sent His only son to die on a cross in our place so that we could be reconciled with Him again and, one day, live with Him in the heavenly realms. God decided to call Nick home where his soul doesn't have to deal with sin, pain, tears or any other malice ever again. For us, who remained on this side of the curtain, we rest assured that one day we'll cross this curtain and again meet our beloved ones - this time for ever, without having to say "good night, 'till then" ever again

[@theomaimba9245]

Loved this... thank you Tim and Todd for this conversation! I'm waiting eagerly for all Eating episodes that are yet to come out quarterly! Love from KENYA!!!

[@Mommybecca9804]

Wow. That was beautiful. Tears, but praise. We serve a good God.❤️☝️🙌 🙏 Praying for Tim, & family; & those around us dealing with similar grief...may they know the peace & comfort Tim shared. And may we all seek to know God & His word more deeply, so our faith & theology is our support when we go thru the valleys.

[@miriamtalavera5015]

This has been so helpful to me as I have lost several family members in the span of eight years. Much thanks to Tim Challies for opening up about his and his family's grief as well as their ongoing healing powered by their faith in God. Praying for God to continue His good work in your lives and keep your faith ever-growing. Thank you Todd Friel and Wretched staff for this very thorough and encouraging interview with Tim Challies.

[@elvislleshi3209]

Very encouraging and comforting testimony.

[@b.a.m.2.1.04.Mrs.RLMrrw]

So, so painful to listen. And yet, helpful. My husband left my arms and went to our Lord 5 months ago. The pain is excruciating. But being reminded that God is good, and faithful is helpful.

[@emmyty]

AMEN. Returning to a right understanding of the character of God. Seeing Tim's steadfast faith through this trial has been such a blessing to so many ♥️.

[@nunezj06]

Great interview. Looking forward to more Breaking Bread.

[@melodysledgister2468]

Such a good message! It resonates because we have been through a similar situation. I agree--thanking God that we, too, had the doctrine of God's sovereignty settled in our minds before this challenge to our faith. Knowing God is good, able, and faithful, makes us able to trust Him. (Bad theology will let you down when something like this happens!) Trusting God’s character is what got us through our great sorrow. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name to the Lord! I had plenty of emotion (I hadn't been a crier before, either) but I didn't go through the "anger phase" that they tell you is normal. Nothing against anyone if they do, I just didn't. The individuality of each family member's grieving differently is so true! Physical pain, yes. Weight loss, sleep disturbance, depression, physical deterioration, yes. But healing is possible! Can't wait to order this book! I totally agree with the tending of the grave. We don't believe our son is "there," but it is the point from which his body will be resurrected on the last day. It's a way we can still care for him. Allowing people to grieve in their own way that helps them is vitally important to their recovery. "People grieve in sinful ways, but there are a variety of not-sinful ways..." By the way, it took 12 years for me to feel healed. I am not mentally ill. Grief can just take that long. It's a unique experience for each grieving individual, and for each one being grieved.

[@Wweber1]

Brother Todd, Tim and the Wretched staff. Thank you for sharing Season of Sorrow Interview. My Twin Ben Weber went to the Lord on Oct 3rd 2021. This video really hits home. I am also not fearing death anymore and what is to come. Being absent from my body and present with the Lord. I can't wait!

[@karendavis7278]

[@jerryspidell2331]

Stan, very sorry for your situation. Makes things very hard when there are few answers. My 21 year old died of malpractice and we were able to get answers eventually. I will pray for you brother. I am on year 5 and it feels like the 5th month still but God has comforted and things are more manageable now. Trust the Lord my friend, God is still good. Love you man!

Praying for Tim and his family. They’re definitely an inspiration, the way that they handled such a loss and didn’t let it ruin their relationships w God, they let it strengthen their faith.

[@ThatOne77]

Wow.... There are comments?

[@kennethtrayer5565]

Well folks please pray for myself and wife. What is it saying about the church when I receive more from this video than our own pastors/leaders? We experienced a family tragedy in 2010. Then when we move on from it , things revisit and we deal all over again. Zip forward to 2016-today. A father succumbs to Alzheimer's, a father in law(known for majority of my life) to lung disease, then a best friend brother, then Corona happens, sister in law ( best girlfriend) who introduced us,succumb to a sudden death, mother in law from corona complication, and a church friend (not as close) then congregation shuts down claiming "safety concerns" , youngest children enter their lives on their own (empty nest). Brings us to today, and not being able to have three funerals from the above properly. (5 deaths in 2 years.) This past few years have been extremely trying, with having a pastor not willing to engage in conversation or spiritual counseling to top it off. So speaking of grief? Yes I mange to hold on with the thinnest thread mustard seed of faith . Yes you can work it through, but the platitudes and expected "recovery" time is insulting. It is especially difficult when too few around are of similar experience level in age or life season. Glad to see this video.

stop breaking the bread or the bread will be so broken it will repent and be saved and then you'll have to do a breaking bread with the broken bread because it will be a Christian with unique insight on life
