## Resource

When someone you love is hurting, the pressure to say the “right thing” can feel overwhelming. What if the best thing you can offer isn’t words at all? In this message, Jon Jorgenson walks through the story of Job and shows how well-meaning friends said many true things… that still caused deep harm. And how the most powerful help they gave happened before they ever opened their mouths. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to help, but I don’t know how,” this message will change how you show up for people in pain. Because grief doesn’t need answers. It needs presence. 📍 Soul City Church — Chicago 🔔 Subscribe for more messages on faith, suffering, and real life
