When God Feels Far Away: Holding On Through Suffering | Amy Loflin


Listen Later

When you're living through a period of suffering, grief, or unanswered questions, trusting that God is still working for your good can seem unbelievable.

In this conversation, Ellen sits down with Amy Loflin from Echo Joy Collective to discuss how suffering can shape our view of God, what it looks like to hold on to faith when life doesn't make sense, and how Jesus meets us in the middle of our pain.

Together, they discuss:

  •  the lies suffering can make us believe about God
  • how to trust God when He feels distant or silent
  • what the bleeding woman in Luke 8 teaches us about faith and healing
  • practical ways to meet with God during difficult seasons
  • how suffering can deepen our dependence on Christ

Whether you're facing loss, doubt, chronic pain, or grief, our prayer is that this episode reminds you that God is near, trustworthy, and present even in the midst of suffering.

Read Amy's book: A Story Worth Living: Reclaim Your Confidence, Purpose, and Peace

Scripture referenced:
Romans 8:28 | Luke 8:40-48 | Leviticus 13:45-46 | Psalm 42:7
