Beautiful Things: Week 5

Some seasons take everything at once.

This week, Bill Filbeck sits down with Pastor Mike Lyle to talk about a stretch of life marked by loss on nearly every side — the death of his father, other close relatives gone in a short span of time, and the ending of a romantic relationship. It was the kind of season where the ground doesn't stop shifting long enough to catch your breath.

Bill shares how God reached toward him in that desperation, not with easy answers, but through profound encounters that met him exactly where he was. And he talks about what came after: the slow, deliberate work of God rebuilding a life from the ground up.

Beauty from ashes. If you're in a season of grief, or wondering whether God is present in the losses you didn't choose, this conversation is for you.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time." — Ecclesiastes 3:11
