Abound in Hope

In our 3rd and final Chronic Pain episode of Abound in Hope, Tom McGregor, Suzanne, and Darren are joined by special guest Sarah Stoddard to talk about a dimension of chronic pain that often goes unseen — the deep and persistent suffering of mental and emotional pain. Sarah vulnerably shares her own experience of suffering through depression and suicidal thoughts, offering a courageous and grace-filled perspective on what it looks like to fight for hope when the pain is invisible to those around you. Join us as we talk about this kind of suffering — the anguish of the soul — and how God meets us in this darkness even when we can't feel His presence. If you or someone you love is quietly carrying the weight of unseen mental or emotional pain, this conversation is for you.

Note: This episode touches on difficult mental health themes. If you are experiencing deep depression please reach out to us. And if you are considering hurting yourself, please call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
