Breaking The Cycle Of Grief

8/16/2026

Chris Hilken

Guest Speaker

Life doesn’t always turn out the way we thought it would. A marriage ends. Someone you love dies. Trust is broken. The future you pictured disappears. And suddenly, you’re left trying to make sense of grief, disappointment, anger, and a God who may feel distant. In this message, we look at what the Bible actually says about those moments—and how to move forward when you feel stuck in a cycle of bitterness, shame, isolation, or unhealthy coping. Using the simple framework Stop, Drop, and Roll, we’ll discover how to: • Stop the spiral of anger, blame, bitterness, and shame • Drop the coping mechanisms that numb the pain but never heal it • Roll into renewal by building new spiritual rhythms centered on Jesus Whether your pain came from something someone did to you, something you regret, or a loss you never chose, your story doesn’t have to end on the floor. God is still in the business of redemption. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. — Matthew 11:28 Visit Cornerstone Church For Marriage Series: CornerstoneAZ.com/Marriage
