When it comes to suffering, the question isn’t if, but when. On this side of eternity, the pain of grief and loss are simply a part of life. And yet God often uses these hard moments to bring about perseverance, character, and hope. On today’s episode of the Great Stories podcast, David Wollen is joined by Kristen Wetherell who co-rote the book Hope When it Hurts.
A wise and mature follower of Jesus, Kristen shares some very practical and specific encouragement to help any Christian going through a time of suffering. Whether you are enduring something slight or great, the truths discussed in this episode will help you see Christ and give you hope.
Hope When it Hurts
Suffering is real. But so is hope.
Authors Kristen Wetherell and Sarah Walton have walked through, and are walking in, difficult times. In their book, they offer thirty biblical reflections that are full of realism about the hurts of life, yet overwhelmingly full of hope about the God who gives life.
Whether it is for you, a member of your church, or a friend, Hope When it Hurts is a beautiful, cloth-bound book that will gently encourage and greatly help anyone who is struggling. Wetherell and Walton give hope to readers, not just for life beyond the suffering, but also for life in the suffering.
Each chapter contains a biblical reflection, with questions and prayers, and a space for journaling.
