175. Hope is a (Suffering) Person

Key Conversation Points: Last week's episode is here if you’d like to listen to that first as Lisa-Jo and Christie continue to delve through the meaning of hope.  What conversation did Lisa-Jo and Christie have that started 14 years ago about a small God?  Is the Storyteller feeling sketchy to you too sometimes?  You’re allowed to wail and ask questions to God through suffering.  Jesus was  "acquainted with grief," just like us. Suffering isn't a sign of failure.   Sometimes you need a friend to hold the rope of hope, when we've lost all strength. God doesn't say "I can't use her because she's in the fetal position." Rom 5:3-5: "Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character hope. And hope does not put us to shame because God's love has been poured out..."
