“Grief isn’t something you get over; it is something you learn to accept. In order to heal, we need to get uncomfortable. We need to make space for our grief by spending time in the quiet, by leaning on a community of people who truly get it, and by doing things that soothe our soul.” Those words come from an email sent from Jessy Paulson on the fourth anniversary of her sister’s death as she shared four things she learned about grief. And in today’s episode, Jessy and I sit down and dive deeper into some of these things. I know that so many of you are carrying grief around with you, whether the loss has been recent or was experienced years ago. And I know many of you are loving someone right now who is grieving a loss of their own, and you’re trying to find ways to care for them and love them through. I feel like Jessy’s story and experience will resonate with so many of you. We talk about things like grieving out loud, grieving while parenting, using art as a way to pray, and how grief impacted her experience of God. My friends, this is a sacred and tender conversation. I imagine you know how difficult it can be to share those places in your story where you carry grief and wounds and pain, and I always start each interview letting my guest know that if I ask a question that is too hard to talk about, too personal, just to let me know and we’ll move on. Some things aren’t meant to be shared yet. And that’s okay. And Jessy was so incredibly open and gracious in sharing a bit of her heart and soul with us, and I know you won’t take that lightly. So I invite you to reach out to her following the episode and let her know how much you appreciate her. Can you do that for me? Jessy and I met through an organization called Painted Prayers, where we both became trained to lead others in praying through art. She will share more of her work and ministry throughout our conversation, but for now, let’s go ahead and dive in and I’ll let her introduce herself. Kari   MEET JESSY PAULSON: Jessy Paulson is a small-town South Dakotan who shares her life with her husband Kyle and their three kids, Aleigha, Charley, and Conrad. Jessy is the prayer artist behind the j.hazel.paulson Prayer Art &amp; Jewelry, the owner of the online retail store Purpose + Grit, and the founder of Gritty Faith Magazine. You’ll often find Jessy with paint on her clothes and coffee in her cup, tackling one of her many projects, 15 minutes at a time.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD GOES SILENT? As an introvert, silence is your strength. You cherish quiet moments. Time alone replenishes your soul like nothing else can. But what happens when God goes silent? When you raise your questions of grief and hurt and doubt—and He doesn't answer? Dear one, what if your very quietness has positioned you to experience the presence of God in a totally new way? What if in these seasons of silence, God is actually speaking to you louder than He has ever spoken to you before? If you ready to press into God in this season of silence, I invite you to fill out the form at lovedoesthat.org/apply. I use a modern-day letter writing style of spiritual direction perfect for Christian women drawn to quiet spaces and written words. Throughout our correspondence, I will compassionately listen to your story, gently ask questions that point you to God, and help you discover personal spiritual practices that invite you to stay close to Him.

Gritty Faith in the Midst of Grief with Prayer Artist Jessy Paulson

I must share that Janet Conner is my sacred teacher and has helped me with my own spiritual path and enhanced practices. Her first book, Writing Down Your Soul, became a bestseller, opening a path to six more including The Lotus and The Lily, Soul Vows, and Find Your Soul’s Purpose. When “Prayer Artist” came calling, Janet found herself writing a whole new genre of post-patriarchal prayers, redefining prayer altogether, and leading radically different prayer intensives. She completed the six-year run of her highly successful radio show, The Soul-Directed Life, to create a new kind of podcast, Praying at the Speed of Love, inviting famous authors to share intimate stories about their prayer lives. To make all this possible, Janet lives a quiet life filled with silence, solitude, and joy in the tiny town of Ozona Florida on the Gulf of Mexico.  Janet enlightens us on the power of prayer through simple practice. Her new prayer intensive, “Theta, The Radical Path to Love” can be found at https://janetconner.com/theta-intensive/
