Have you ever wondered: "Where is God in the middle of my circumstances and suffering?" Our guest in this episode will remind you that you are not alone in asking that question. Neither does it make you an inauthentic Christian. In fact, you are in good company among many people of God - both the Bible and around the world today. During this global pandemic, many are experiencing and questioning the presence of God in suffering more than ever before.

Our guest in this podcast episode is Rachel Welter, a gospel-centered, biblical counselor in Memphis, Tennessee who is in our church family. She opens up about her own struggles with depression, the tendencies of the human heart toward isolation, and the opportunity to know God more through suffering. Rachel is so skilled at articulating the deeper working of God’s grace in the midst of personal crisis and how to choose victory in truth and intimacy with God over the lies of anxiety and self-defeat. Don’t miss her incredible illustration around the 20 minute mark on the gracious gift of “surgery” that suffering can often be in our heart and life.

You will be helped through Rachel’s honest testimony and wise counsel in this episode. Thanks for listening and remember to rate, review, and share today’s podcast with others!
