In this episode, Mark and Dr. John define grief and discuss the stages of grief. Within each stage, Mark and John speak of hope and give practical ways to resolve the grief in your life. Dr. John uses the illustration of a wound to illustrate grief and how we deal with it. God understands grief, and as Isaiah 53 states, He is a "Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief."

In this episode, Mark and John discuss the journey to the cross and suffering. During Passion Week, Jesus suffered, and the guys discuss how God uses suffering and brokenness in our lives. Mark and John walk through Philippians, chapters 2-3, and we see that our life as bondservants of Jesus is better. If we have confidence in the flesh, we will not see a need for the cross. However, the old you was canceled at the cross. There is a resurrection quality of life for us. Tony Evans said, "Brokenness is God stripping away everything from us that prohibits the beauty of Jesus being seen in us."
