Episode 277 - Hope when it Hurts with Kristen Wetherell

How do you keep trusting God when life doesn't get perfectly "fixed"? How can you begin to see God's glory move in your story within all its imperfections?For author Kristen Wetherell, chronic pain became a debilitating reminder that her plans and her life were not fully under her control. It was through a Lyme disease diagnosis and the subsequent pain and challenges she faced that God began to reveal to her how important it was to live a surrendered life before the Lord and see His grace and compassion in the midst of suffering. In her book, Hope When it Hurts (co-authored with previous guest, Sarah Walton, Episode #274), she encourages those battling any sort of pain, to see the hope God offers in our aches and hold onto Him when we want to let go. In this episode, Davey sits down with Kristen to unpack how we can begin to discern the will of God in our lives, what it looks like to walk by faith in our suffering, and the importance of leaning into others when we can't stand on our own. With profound wisdom, Kristen points out how God remains faithful to us when our story takes unexpected twists and turns and how we can keep trusting Him even though life unfolds in unexpected ways.   Website: www.kristenwetherell.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/kristen_wetherellBooks: Hope When It Hurts: Biblical Reflections to Help You Grasp God’s Purpose in Your Suffering Humble Moms: How the Work of Christ Sustains the Work of MotherhoodFight Your Fears: Trusting God's Character and Promises When You Are Afraid Want to find out how you too can remove the debris of crisis in your life and move forward with a renewed sense of victory and purpose?
