In this episode of The Mom Show, host Courtney Doyle sits down with Jen VanKommer, a mom whose journey through grief, grace, and God’s faithfulness is one you won’t want to miss. Jen shares the incredible story of how her family was forced to stay in the United States during the pandemic, leaving behind their missionary life and home in Southeast Asia.
In this episode, Jen talks about:
The loss of home, livelihood, and community during the pandemic and how it felt like the death of a dream.
Navigating six different homes and relying on the generosity of friends and family as they rebuilt their lives in the U.S.
The overwhelming grief, financial struggles, and sense of failure that came with starting over.
How God’s faithfulness and redemption turned what seemed like the worst situation into an opportunity for new beginnings.
The importance of trusting God’s plans even when they don’t align with our own.
The role of grief in spiritual growth and how being honest with God about our emotions brings healing.
Jen’s advice for other moms facing loss, transition, or feelings of failure, and how she’s learned to embrace rest and self-care through it all.
