What does it looking like to choose joy in the middle of suffering?

How can you find joy again after losing those closest to you?

We tackle these questions and more on this episode of the More to Be Podcast. I'm joined by the founder of the Choose Joy Foundation, Laura Pedersen, which was established in honor of her sister, Sara Frankl. Some of you might remember joy advocate, Sara, as the blogger chronicling her faith alongside her journey with a debilitating illness and necessary isolation, at Gitzen Girl. 

At the age of 38, Sara went home to be with the Lord, and her sister, Laura, took up the mantle of carrying her Choose Joy message forward, all the while putting into practice what Sara preached as she faced a battle with breast cancer.

It was an honor to spend time with Laura and unpack the promises found in God's Word. We talked about what it looks like to live out our faith as spiritual beings in human bodies committed to kingdom work. You'll walk away from this episode not only encouraged by the wisdom Laura shares but encouraged by her retelling of her sister's and father's faith. This family leads with the Word as their banner. May we all take note and commit to doing the same.
