OM DENNE EPISODE
Some of the hardest seasons of life aren't the painful ones — they're the uncertain ones. In this episode, Frances Jean opens up about her own family's transition: leaving a church community they love deeply to move to a country where they don't know a soul. Drawing on scripture, psychology, and the wisdom of writers like William Bridges and Bruce Feiler, Frances unpacks the real difference between change (external) and transition (internal), why grief and hope can coexist, and how God uses the "in-between" — the neutral zone — to form us rather than waste us.
