In this episode, Laurie Davies and I tackle the difficult topic of chronic pain. We explore the hard questions we ask in the face of suffering when chronic pain becomes too much to bear.

If you’ve ever been in that place where you just wanted the pain to end and you didn’t know what to do, you won’t want to miss this real and raw discussion about chronic pain.
Chronic pain affects millions of individuals every year. It has a tendency to rob the best of us. When you’ve experienced excruciating pain for years, is God’s grace enough when you’ve reached your breaking point? Is our weakness made perfect in God’s strength? Tera Bradham DeNeui, a swimmer who was expected to be an Olympian until her career was cut short prematurely by an accident and chronic pain, shares how depending on God’s grace helped her cope.

If you’ve ever been in a caregiving role, whether it be for a child, spouse, sick parent or relative, you know how hard it can be to care for yourself as well.
