Are We Meant to Suffer? Ep. 215


Listen Later

This week on Chocolate Cake Bytes, Ken brings his friend Kaelynn to the table for a candid, no-holds-barred look at suffering, trust, and divine purpose. Are we meant to suffer? Is there a master plan that pain fits into, or are we simply navigating a messy, beautiful world full of unexpected twists and lessons? Ken and Kaelynn challenge the classic, often uncomfortable idea that “everything happens for a reason,” sharing personal stories and wrestling with hard questions about faith, control, and letting go.

They dig into what it really means to “become like Christ”—is it about following rules, or is it about embracing growth through change and hardship? Kaelynn opens up about her mission, losing the use of her legs, and learning to rely on God in ways she never imagined, while Ken recounts a family crisis that tested every ounce of trust he had in a bigger plan. Packed with warmth, wit, and wisdom, this episode invites you to rethink your own approach to adversity.

Join Ken and Kaelynn for a conversation that doesn’t shy away from life’s rough edges. You’ll gain a new perspective on suffering, discover why it might actually draw us closer to God, and come away questioning what “good” and “bad” really mean in the grand scheme. Pull up a chair (and a snack!)—you don’t want to miss this one.
