In this powerful episode of Kingdom Crossroads, host TS Wright sits down with award-winning author and speaker Amy Joob to explore a deeply personal and transformative journey through grief, loss, and restoration.
Amy opens up about what she calls a “grief storm”—a season marked by the sudden loss of her father, church hurt, family challenges, and later, a cancer diagnosis. Through it all, she reveals how God brought healing, renewed purpose, and a return to her calling.
This conversation goes beyond personal testimony, offering practical and spiritual insights for anyone navigating grief—whether from loss, life transitions, identity shifts, or unexpected hardships.
