    #11: A Safe Place to Cast Our Cares

    #11: A Safe Place to Cast Our Cares

    In this episode we talk about the different types of prayer we offer up during suffering and how God always answers them. Maybe not in the way we want Him to, but always in the way that's best for us and for putting His glory on display. 

    We mention some scripture at the end of the episode. Here are those references:
    2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Psalm 22:24, Psalm 55:17, Romans 8:26, 1 Peter 5:6-7

So good and so true

Times of grief and suffering are inevitable in all our lives so you’d think we’d be good at helping each other during times of lament, but way to many of us experience more hurt or aggravation from those who are suppose to help us during times of suffering. Or we become isolated and question God. That is what this podcast is about. How to come along side others during the worst times of life, how to show love, pray for and experience God together during the brokenness. And most importantly - what not to say to someone who’s suffering. In this podcast you’ll hear truth about Gods faithfulness to you during hardships and encouraging testimonies. The hosts are fun and relatable, discussing much needed topics around times of lament and everything is rooted in scripture. This is a podcast everyone should listen to, if not for your own healing than just to help you help others better.

This podcast is full of encouragement through truth and the Love of God. The grace that is demonstrated in the way that these two women speak is absolutely inspiring. I appreciate every minute of this podcast being filled with hope even in dark times. Thank you to the hosts and your willingness to share your stories in suffering to create a community rooted in the Lord!
