Faith That Endures

In this deeply moving gathering at the Café, Laurel hosts a safe space for the sharing of testimonies as three special guests join the conversation to share their lived experiences of loss, caregiving, and clinging to faith in the darkest of times.

Through listening to their stories, we're invited into an honest exploration of grief—not as something to be rushed or resolved, but as a place where God’s steafast presence is revealed over time. These moving stories testify to a hope that holds firm even in doubt and a faith anchored in the loving power of Jesus Christ.

Welcome to The Death & Resurrection Doula Podcast, a space where faith, theology, and end-of-life care meet in the form of compassionate, hope-filled conversation.  Hosted by Christian End-of-Life Doula Practitioner and Theologian Laurel Nicholson, this podcast serves as an invitation to explore the sacred realities of death and our resurrection into eternal life through the power of Jesus Christ.

Each episode offers thoughtful reflection and meaningful dialogue—whether through rich theological insights, heartfelt discussions with those serving within and around end-of-life care, or with shared moments drawn from our live fellowship community. All are united by a single purpose: to remove the taboo surrounding death and to proclaim the joy of returning home to spend eternity with our loving God.
