We will all face hard things. Will we be the sort of people who resist the challenges and become resentful and bitter? Or will we see suffering as an opportunity to be open to the Lord and trust him? Today, my friend Maggie and I both share how Christ is meeting us in the suffering of a broken engagement and a loved one’s Alzheimer's diagnosis. We also dive into the habits of faith that prepare us to suffer well and how God redeems our suffering to help us know Christ more intimately.

Help the Church celebrate what’s good, resist what’s evil, contribute what’s missing, and restore what’s broken. Every Colson Center podcast, course, program, and event is designed to equip the Church to be the Church today—but we need your help to keep providing these resources. Our 2024/2025 fiscal year ends on June 30, and we need your help to fund the 2025/2026 fiscal year by then. Make your best gift to the Colson Center by June 30 to help us strengthen the Church to BE the Church this year. Give today at colsoncenter.org/swchurch.

The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment.
