68. From Stuck to Worship: What Lamenting Does That Complaining Can't (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Expressing sadness isn't weakness — it might be one of the most worshipful things you do. In this episode, Bryson and Randy dig into why sadness feels like the harder emotion to access (especially for those wired toward anger or control), the generational and cultural lies many of us were handed about tears meaning weakness, and Randy's practical "blue journal" practice for safely naming grief in small containers of time.

If you've ever thought grief was only for funerals and major loss, this episode will change how you see your own daily life.

Together they unpack what grief actually is, why most of us were never taught how to do it, and the two most common ways we avo
