Joy and Grief: Rev. Dr. Rae Karim
Rev. Dr. Rae Karim will explore the sacred relationship between joy and grief, offering a compassionate, biblical perspective on holding both at the same time. Together, participants will reflect on how lament, healing, and hope shape our faith and discover that choosing joy isn't about moving past our grief—it's about trusting God's presence within it.
