The GriefShare Movement
The GriefShare Movement answers your questions about GriefShare. You’ll hear pastors and GriefShare leaders explain why GriefShare is helping them see these three benefits: people healing from the pain of grief, more lay people involved in ministry and church growth.
Plus, you’ll hear from Dr. Charles Arn, President of the American Society of Church Growth, and Dr. Michael Lindsay, a sociologist from Rice University. They’ll help you understand why offering GriefShare is an effective outreach strategy for your church.
