In Week 3 of our Upside Down Kingdom series, Kayla Duckett unpacks one of Jesus’ most confronting Beatitudes: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” This message explores grief in all its forms—personal loss, shame‑wrapped grief, sorrow over sin, and lament for a broken world—and why none of it disqualifies us from God’s presence.

Through Scripture, lived experience, and reflections from C.S. Lewis, this message reminds us that grief is not a faith failure but a sign of love—and that Jesus meets us not with explanations, but with His presence. Whether your grief is visible or hidden, recent or long‑carried, this message invites you to bring it honestly before God and discover the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
