Progressive. Degenerative. No cure. Those are the words that most people fear to hear spoken over their lives, and they are the words Katerina has grappled with since her diagnosis with CMT four years ago. Today on the show she shares how God has changed her heart and perspective after being diagnosed with a progressive disease at 18 years old.

Ever wondered what God’s purpose could be in your suffering? Have you ever thought about at least 12 different perspectives for suffering? Our guest today, Dr. Brian Gregg, has. In fact, he’s written a whole book about it, and he shares his insights with us today. I can’t speak more highly of how important I think his book and this conversation is for us if we are to think of suffering in a biblical, holistic way.

Carrie Farrell has been an injured athlete, a coach of injured athletes, and a mental health counselor for people who live in chronic pain. She combines all of those experiences to give us practical and applicable wisdom on how to manage our chronic pain today. We talk a lot about the specifics of how chronic pain affects athletes, but whether you are an athlete or not, I believe this episode has something in it for you!

Daniel and Kelly Crawford lost their son to a life-limiting diagnosis a few days after his birth. Like Hebrews 11:4 says, Abel still speaks, even though he is no longer on earth. His parents are making sure of that through Abel Speaks, an organization they founded to support parents carrying children with life-limiting diagnoses. Join Daniel, Kelly, and me today as we talk about their journey, their combination of joy and sorrow through the events during and after their pregnancy wth Abel, and what it means to know God more while understanding Him less. Then check out the Crawford’s amazing resources below!

In the middle of the pandemic, Mike Fennema was thrown off his mountain bike and landed on his head. Fighting through the recovery and new limitations of quadriplegia, Mike had to do it all in isolation. For over 100 days, he could not see his wife or children except through a fence six feet apart. Today we talk about what Mike has learned about isolation, identity, and what part these play in our healing.
