Does grief mean your faith is weak?

In this episode of Everything Between, Tori Dixon challenges the idea that strong believers don’t struggle with sorrow. As a therapist, minister, and grief expert, she unpacks what it truly means that Jesus was “acquainted with grief” — and why performing faith can quietly suffocate healing.

If you’re navigating loss, transition, church hurt, or silent disappointment, this conversation reframes the tension between grief and faith — and reminds you that sorrow does not disqualify you from God.

Grief and faith aren’t opposites. And you don’t have to choose between them.

In this first episode of Everything Between, Tori Dixon tells a simple story about a ham that reveals something profound: many of us are still living by emotional rules we inherited—but no longer need.

Through storytelling, Scripture, and reflection, this episode explores emotional inheritance, survival patterns, and why God is far more comfortable with your tears than you’ve been taught.

It didn’t start with you.

But it can end with you.

In this first episode, I’m introducing myself—Tori Dixon, therapist, minister, and former mortician—and sharing why Everything Between exists. This podcast explores mental health, faith, grief, relationships, intimacy, emotional labor, and healing in the spaces we live in but rarely name—the overlap between faith and feelings, grief and gratitude, love and exhaustion, prayer and process.

This isn’t a sermon or a therapy session. It’s a porch conversation for people tired of compartmentalizing their lives to make others comfortable. Here, Christian mental health, emotional wellness, and spiritual growth meet honesty. Trusting God can exist alongside therapy and counseling. Strength doesn’t have to perform. Healing isn’t rushed.

In this episode, I set the tone, name the boundaries, and invite you into a space where grief recovery, emotional healing, relationships, and faith-based conversations are welcome.

Pull up a chair.

We’ll sit, tell the truth, and let it breathe.
