   **Grief changes your story. But it doesn’t get the final word.**

   Grief changes your story. But it doesn’t get the final word. Over the last few weeks, we’ve been revisiting our four-part series on grief to go along with the release of my book, Grief Changes Your Story, But It Doesn’t Get the Final Word. Now we’re coming up on Episode 4 — the final episode in the series. I’m not a grief expert. I’m just a guy who has been through it, learned some things the hard way, and wants to help somebody else walking the same road. This series has been about grief, healing, learning how to keep living, and figuring out what life looks like after your story changes in a way you never wanted it to. If you’ve been following along, I hope you’ll join me for this final episode. And if you’re grieving, helping someone who is, or know somebody who could use a little encouragement right now, please share it with them. 📖 The book is available now on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover.

I’m Big Sam, and I’ve done it the wrong way for a long, long time.

   🎙️ The Big Sam Podcast — Leadership for the Rest of Us Grief Changes Your Story, But It Doesn't Get the Final Word.

   We're continuing our four-part series on grief, and today we're revisiting Part 3. Before we jump into the episode, I've got a couple of exciting things to share! 📖 MY FIRST BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE! After 18 years of living, learning, and trying to put my thoughts about grief into words, my book, Grief Changes Your Story, But It Doesn't Get the Final Word, is available on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover. It's not a book written by a grief expert. It's one guy sharing his experiences, the lessons he's learned, and the faith that helped him keep moving forward. 🎙️ I WAS ALSO A GUEST ON UPREACH! I recently had the privilege of joining Bob Starkey on Upreach to talk about my book, my personal journey through grief, and how faith helps us navigate life's hardest seasons. I'll share the links to that conversation in the comments below! ❤️ NOW, ON TO PART 3! Grief is something none of us want to experience, but sooner or later, it touches every family. Whether you're walking through loss yourself or trying to support someone who is, I hope this episode gives you a little encouragement, understanding, and hope. If this episode helps you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who might need to hear it. Because grief changes your story... But it doesn't get the final word. — Big Sam #TheBigSamPodcast #GriefChangesYourStory #GriefAndHealing #FaithAndHope #GriefSupport #Upreach #BobStarkey

   HOW TO CORRECT WITHOUT CRUSHING | Leadership, Accountability & Grace

   How to Correct Without Crushing Sometimes leadership requires a difficult conversation. But correction shouldn't be about embarrassing somebody, proving you're right, or showing them who's boss. It should be about helping somebody get better. In this episode of The Big Sam Podcast — Leadership for the Rest of Us, Big Sam talks about holding people accountable without tearing them down, correcting the behavior instead of attacking the person, asking questions before making accusations, and giving people a path forward. Galatians 6 gives us a powerful word for correction: restore. That's the goal. Correct the problem. Protect the person. Show them the path forward. Because if someone walks away knowing exactly what they did wrong but believing they can never do anything right, we probably didn't lead them very well.
