Surviving When Life is Falling Apart | Sandals Church

When life unexpectedly falls apart, our natural instinct is usually to isolate ourselves, pretend everything is fine, or completely run away. However, buying into "toxic independence" and faking it until you make it will only make your unseen pain worse. In this video, we explore why hitting rock bottom requires us to stop running and start being brutally honest about our exhaustion and grief. If you are feeling completely overwhelmed by your circumstances right now, here is how to actually survive and begin to heal. 0:00 - The Harsh Reality of Unexpected Suffering 05:45 - A Major Misconception About Following Christ 11:20 - How Jesus Handled Crushing Grief 17:35 - Step 1: Stop Isolating and Invite People In 24:10 - Step 2: Stop Pretending and Be Honest 31:45 - Step 3: Stop Running and Surrender Control 37:50 - Finding the Strength to Get Back Up -- Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/ Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribe Download the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/ If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at [email protected]! - Other Sandals Church YouTube Channels - The Debrief with Pastor Matthew Stephen Brown: www.youtube.com/c/TheDebriefShow Sandalschurch.tv: www.youtube.com/channel/UC0BBn1VFrdLWtB-TpEM1jjw Sandals Church Youth: www.youtube.com/channel/UCnklO4l6HduzlKOh_Me8tdg
