Allyship, Grief, and the Church with Aubrey Sampson

In this episode, Natasha sits with Aubrey Sampson, author of several books on grief, lament, and hope including The Louder Song, Known, her best-selling kids book Big Feelings Days and her newest book What We Find in the Dark. Aubrey is a church planter and teaching pastor at Renewal Church, a multiethnic congregation in the Chicagoland area, the co-host of the Nothing is Wasted Podcast, and leads The Louder Song Community, an online gathering for grievers and those walking with the hurting. I am so very honored to know her.

In this conversation, Aubrey shares what it means to be an ally, how the church can better support and come alongside Black Women and how to encourage our hearts when we experience grief from her latest work What We Find In the Dark.
