Summary

Sarah Freymuth joins Jessica Vitale to share her powerful testimony of faith, perseverance, and discovering God's goodness in life's hardest seasons. As the author of All the Hard Things: 50 Days Through the Valley, Sarah opens up about how suffering shaped her relationship with God and why our deepest valleys often become the places where we encounter Him most intimately.

Whether you're walking through grief, disappointment, unanswered prayers, or simply wondering where God is in the middle of your pain, this conversation offers biblical encouragement, practical wisdom, and the reminder that you never walk through the valley alone.

A quick note: I apologize for the video quality in this episode. We experienced some unexpected issues post recording, and for a moment, it looked like we weren't going to be able to recover the footage at all.

After prayer and persistence, we were able to restore it (lesser quality but we’ll take it!) I truly believe God wanted this conversation to be shared. Whenever something like this happens, I can't help but wonder if there's something in the message the enemy would rather keep from being heard. But God is greater, and I'm so grateful this conversation made it to you.

I pray it encourages you exactly where you are today. 🤍
