At some point, we all experience loss, and the way we navigate grief can shape the rest of our lives. Finding the right support and tools makes all the difference.
BJ Cantrell’s story is a powerful testament to the life-changing impact of faith-based grief coaching. As a returning student at PCCCA, our original academy, she knew the value of our training—but never expected how deeply it would transform her own journey. Her experience offers hope, inspiration, and a reminder that joy and purpose can be restored, even after profound loss.
From Grief to Purpose; My Life Was Restored
By BJ Cantrell, Certified Joy Restoration & Christian Grief Coach
Before I enrolled in the Joy Restoration / Christian Grief Coach course, I was a traveling nurse and in my down time, I was deeply invested in studying psychology and Christian counseling. I had nearly completed my degree but struggled with a final math course, which led me to settle for an associate’s degree instead. That’s when I discovered PCCCA’s Christian Coaching program. I knew grief coaching and Joy Restoration were my true calling, but I didn’t realize just how much this journey would impact my own life.
Studying this program took me deeper into God’s Word than I had ever gone before. I didn’t just study the material—I studied prayerfully, letting it sink into my heart. What I didn’t know then was that this training would become my anchor. In 2022, I lost my mother. That kind of loss could have devastated me beyond repair. If I had not taken this path, I truly believe I might have given up. My grief was overwhelming, and for a time, I lost focus on my calling.
But because of what I learned through this course, I didn’t stay stuck. I had the tools to navigate my pain in a way that kept me moving forward. Now, I am continuing my studies, coaching others, and serving in hospice care. Though my grief is still a part of me, it does not define me. Had I not taken the Joy Restoration course, I would have been mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically unwell. Instead, I have the strength to walk through my grief and help others do the same.
This program isn’t just about knowledge—it’s about transformation. The faith-based approach has been my foundation. Staying in God’s Word, staying in prayer, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide, teach, and comfort me has made all the difference.
I believe this training is needed by everyone. We will all experience loss at some point in life, and we all need our joy restored. This course equips people to grieve in a healthy way, to find purpose again, and to turn mourning into joy. It exceeded my expectations, and I know it can do the same for others.
If you’re on the fence about taking this course, my advice is simple: don’t wait. What you learn here will not only change your life—it will change the lives of those you are called to help.
