Finding God’s Steadfast Love in Grief with Dove Award Winner Ellie Holcomb
In today’s episode, Ellie Holcomb — 3× Dove Award winner, bestselling author, and songwriter for Amy Grant, Francesca Battistelli, Riley Clemmons, and more - shares the story behind her new album Far Country. She joins me for a powerful conversation about grief, longing, and the steadfast love of God.
Ellie’s album, Far Country, was born out of a season of deep grief and honest wrestling — yet it radiates with hope and the nearness of God. We talk about:
The story behind Far Country and what inspired her to write from a place of sorrow and longing
The balance of beauty and brokenness in her music and how God meets us there
Her song “You Give Me Your Hand” and the hope of resurrection in the midst of unanswered questions
How to hold on to truth when life doesn’t make sense
The song(s) she’s most connected to on the album
This episode will comfort anyone walking through uncertainty, doubt, or loss — and remind you that God’s presence is constant, even when the road ahead feels unclear.
