Welcome to this week’s episode of Refresh & Restore!

In this episode, I share a Bible study on Romans 5:1–5, a passage that sustained me through some of the hardest nights of my recent hospital stay. In it, we find gospel truth about peace with God, access to grace, rejoicing in suffering, and a hope that never puts us to shame—because it’s all rooted in Jesus.

Before diving into today’s study, you might want to check out the two previous reflections I shared from the hospital:

• "Reflections on the Goodness of God from My Hospital Bed"

• "God Hears, God Sees, and God Knows"

This study is for anyone who feels weak, weary, or worn—anyone who needs to be reminded that in Jesus, we are never alone, and our hope is never in vain.
