Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast is a part of The God Centered Concept.
What happens when grief is buried instead of processed—and how can God use even our deepest pain to transform our lives?
In this special CPE Summer 2026 edition of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright sits down with returning guest and award-winning author Cassandra Armstrong to discuss her book, Growth in the Grief.
Cassandra shares how the loss of her mother became the catalyst that caused her to confront years of unresolved grief. Through journaling, prayer, and seeking God, what began as a private healing process eventually developed into a book designed to help others recognize that grief reaches far beyond the death of a loved one.
During this conversation, Cassandra speaks candidly about experiencing the loss of her infant daughter to SIDS, sexual assault during her military service, regret over decisions from earlier seasons of her life, and the tendency to compartmentalize pain rather than truly process it.
She explains how God began showing her that grief could become more than something to survive—it could become part of a refining process.
Drawing from the biblical principle that suffering produces perseverance and perseverance produces character, Cassandra and T.S. explore how believers can bring pain, regret, unanswered questions, and loss to the foot of the Cross rather than allowing those experiences to control their future.
The conversation also addresses the reality of continuing life after loss—the empty chair at Christmas, the responsibilities that remain, and the challenge of moving forward while still carrying a story that has permanently changed you.
One of Cassandra’s central messages is simple but powerful: we do not always understand God's plan, but we can learn to trust Him in the middle of it.
Through genuine repentance, surrender, prayer, and dependence upon God, Cassandra describes discovering the kind of peace that Scripture says surpasses all understanding.
