Levi and Jennie Lusko are pastors, authors, and parents who are embracing the gifts of suffering. We consider them kindred spirits and have learned tremendous lessons about the fierce power of hope through their teaching and their friendship. The Luskos are no strangers to struggle, especially since the sudden death of their five-year old daughter Lenya in 2012. Few people are better equipped to explore the hope to be mined from the darkness of the past.

Join us as we hear Joni's powerful perspective on finding our callings within our unique limitations.

They share practical insights about how setting healthy boundaries can ultimately lead to the flourishing of your network of relationships.

We're sitting down with Dr. Curt Thompson for a conversation on the unexpected places where trauma and beauty meet. Curt is a psychiatrist and author whose work inspired significant portions of Suffer Strong. His transformative teachings on paying attention to what we remember in order to  anticipate the future with hope have been a guiding principle for our second-chance lives, and have prepared us to recognize the beauty in every broken thing.

Scott Erickson joins us for a conversation about re-narrating our stories of failure and healing. Scott is an artist and theologian who is creating a visual library of prayer through his visio lectios, simple illustrations that somehow sum up our most sweeping thoughts about God and ourselves. Come along as we find the place where failure and healing meet, particularly in this season where the death of expectations have left space for healing and, ultimately, new life.

Join us for a conversation with Priscilla Shirer, who fully embodies the place where celebration and loss meet. Priscilla candidly reflects on her current season of life, in which she’s lost loved ones, as well as the certainty of her own health. She taught us how to hold grief and gratitude together in this good/hard life. You don’t want to miss this transformative conversation on the unexpected gifts of loss and the surprising places we can find the best celebrations.
