Author: Jonathan Pitts and Christian Parenting September 7, 2020 Duration: 24:12

Jonathan shares his story of the sudden and unexpected loss of his wife, Wynter. From saying goodbye to having to convey the news to his four daughters, Jonathan candidly shares some of the most painful details of that day and his journey. But, instead of focusing on all that has gone wrong, he shares his perspective of finding beauty in the chaos.

Using Philippians 4:8 he describes how you can also find joy in the midst of your pain. He teaches a key lesson on the discipline of celebration and how that can help you and those you lead through some of the most difficult seasons in your life.


Walking through life’s peaks and valleys requires a kind of honesty that’s often hard to find. The Journey with Jonathan Pitts offers just that-a space where the complexities of faith, parenting, and personal loss are met with genuine conversation. Co-hosted by Jonathan Pitts and Christian Parenting, this podcast delves into the raw, real stories that shape a family’s spiritual life, moving beyond simple answers to explore how we actually live out our beliefs day to day. You’ll hear Jonathan’s own experiences with love and grief, shared with a vulnerability that feels both rare and refreshing. These conversations are grounded in a Christian perspective, making them particularly meaningful for parents navigating the challenges of raising kids with intentional faith. Each episode feels like a thoughtful dialogue, aiming to provide companionship and practical insight for your own path. Whether you’re in a season of celebration or one of deep questioning, tuning into this podcast means finding a voice that understands the weight of both. It’s about making sense of the everyday journey, with all its setbacks and grace, together.
