Lead Pastor Joe Valenti reminds us that Jesus cares about all suffering but cares most about eternal suffering; in Mark 1 he heals many and restores dignity, yet at dawn he prays and moves on to preach because that is why he comes. We respond by trusting his timing in our pain, seeking not just temporary relief but hearts changed through the gospel, and using our stories—like Christy’s—to point others to God and hope in Jesus.
