Welcome to the Navigating the Wilderness Podcast! My name is Nicole Delaney and I feel blessed to be on this journey with you. The wilderness is often a place where we feel alone but it’s a place where God not only meets us but He transforms the way we see Him and He reveals more of our identity in Him. It’s a time when we can see aspects of the Lord that we normally wouldn’t recognize. It can be a painful time but it can also be a beautiful time. We will discuss some of these things on this podcast and how to recognize God’s voice amid a hard season. I don’t have all the answers but I hope I can help you feel less alone and share insights I’ve gleaned along the way. We’ll also share the stories of others who have traveled this path with the Lord and how God met them. I pray that you are encouraged and strengthened on your journey. Love and blessings, Nicole

Navigating Grief: A Journey Through Loss and Wilderness with Shelley Jones
Wednesday Jan 15, 2025
Wednesday Jan 15, 2025
In this episode of the 'Navigating the Wilderness' podcast, I sit down with special guest Shelley Jones, a master's graduate from Jerusalem University College. Shelley shares her heartfelt journey through significant personal losses, including the deaths of her parents, and how she managed to find healing and purpose in the midst of profound grief. We discuss her experiences studying in Israel, her work as an instructor, and how her deep understanding of the Bible's historical and geographical context has enriched her faith. Our conversation dives deep into themes of resilience, the power of community and the unfailing faithfulness of God.
