In this episode, host Michelle Bader Ebersole sits down with guest Rebecca Busa Portillo to explore the deep, transformative journey of widowhood, faith, and finding new purpose. Michelle and Rebecca, who first met at a widow's retreat, share a bond formed through their shared experiences of loss.
Rebecca opens up about her emotional journey after the sudden passing of her husband, Sean, in early 2022 due to COVID-19 complications. She shares their story of a blended family, ministry work, and the devastation of his loss. In the early months of widowhood, Rebecca faced profound loneliness, yet found strength in her faith and church community.
In this powerful conversation, Rebecca reflects on her transition from associate pastor to lead pastor, her eventual move to Juarez, Mexico, where she now serves at a children's home, and the new chapter of her life with her husband, Ivan. She also discusses the complex topic of seeking communication with deceased loved ones through mediums, offering biblically grounded insights on what the Bible says about such practices and how to navigate grief with spiritual boundaries.
Whether you're walking through grief yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers deep wisdom, compassion, and hope. Tune in to be inspired by Rebecca's resilience, her healing journey, and the new love she's discovered after loss.
