Welcome all to the Men of Sorrows finding Joy podcast. I am William

Lloyd, a man of Sorrow. Our podcast is committed to supporting and

encouraging men to process their grief in order to heal and return to

joyful living in the midst of great sadness. Although it is directed toward men,

all are welcome to tune in and participate. 

The reason for Men of Sorrows Finding Joy is geared toward men is the

fact that in most of the grief support groups I attended after the death of my

son, men were noticeably absent, and one of the often-heard reports of the

wives, mothers and sisters about the men in the family was, “They are angry and

keep busy.”  Big boys don’t cry was a

phrase I grew up with, but here, men are invited to cry, mourn and express

their emotions by following the example of the best, bravest and strongest man

that ever lived, Jesus Christ. Hebrews 5:7 - During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up

prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save

him from death and Isaiah 51 declares Jesus was a man of sorrows acquainted

with grief.
