When you go through thing after thing after thing as a Christian, you can be left with a lot of questions about the gap between what you are experiencing and what you sing and hear about at church.

Nicole felt defeated and ill-prepared for a decade of relentless trials, from sexual assault and depression to miscarriage and cancer. In this episode, Colleen Swindoll-Thompson and Nicole dive into how to find God in the hardships and how there is always more to your story with Christ.
Listen in to hear about:
* Resolving the tension between awful incidents and God’s goodness * Overcoming the desire to isolate * What worship looks like in the midst of pain and grief * Reminding yourself how God has been faithful in the past * Responsibility vs. surrender
