Can painful experiences become the birthplace of blessings? Author Hadassah Treu joins Sarah to share her powerful story of loss, faith, and redemption from her book Draw Near: How Painful Experiences Become the Birthplace of Blessings. She reflects on how grief led her to deeper intimacy with God, what disillusionment can teach us, and the simple practices that sustained her through seasons of sorrow.

In this episode, you'll discover how to find hope when faith feels fragile, reframe pain as an invitation to draw closer to God, and cultivate spiritual practices—like gratitude, journaling, and prayer—that bring healing and renewal. It's an honest and hope-filled conversation for anyone walking through suffering and longing to see God's goodness in the midst of it.
