    • S1 Ep21: (Episode 21) How Do You Respond to Suffering? - Special Guest Tina Lamarco
      Thanks for joining us today! In this episode, Brian, Alex, and special guest Tina Lamarco delve into the complex and deeply personal topic of suffering. While a 30-minute conversation can't possibly cover all aspects of suffering, our aim is to provide some insight and encouragement for those walking through difficult times. We acknowledge the risk of oversimplifying such a profound experience and want to assure you that our intention is not to minimize anyone's pain.

      Our discussion isn't about solving the problem of suffering or addressing every form of it. Instead, we hope to offer guidance on how we, as followers of Christ, can draw closer to the Lord amid our struggles. Suffering is a universal experience, yet it affects each person differently. Join us as we explore how to remain faithful and find comfort in our faith during times of hardship.
