God is known as “the comforter,” but in times of pain, it can be hard to feel like He is near to us. Those who experience ongoing pain know all too well that it reaches far beyond the physical body. Pain is felt emotionally; it’s felt spiritually, relationally, and even financially for many people. Even when healing seems very far away, the tenderness of God’s love is near to us.

Having personally experienced the trials and hardships of pain, my guest, Dr. Michelle Bengtson, gives hope and help through her podcast,  social media channels, and new book, The Hem of His Garment: Reaching out to God When Pain Overwhelms.

As a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, Michelle offers a unique expertise that combines years of clinical study with deep biblical application to give readers a more holistic understanding of their pain and their place in God’s family.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• Michelle’s journey through pain
• The things we can learn from experiencing pain
• What to do when we are in the depths of pain
• And so much more!

I hope you benefit from this fresh take on pain and God's faithfulness in times of trouble!
