Send us a Text Message.

Ever wondered just how powerful faith and determination can be? Brace yourself as we share a heart-touching conversation with Dr. Michelle Bengtson, a renowned neuropsychologist, and author, who courageously triumphed over physical deformity and chronic pain. Drawing strength from her faith and inspired by influential figures like her mother's friend and Joni Erickson Tada, Dr. Bengtson's journey is filled with resilience, perseverance, and surprising victories - even in the face of her husband's daunting battle with cancer.

We bear our souls in discussing the deeply personal experience of pain and suffering. Understand from our perspective the many forms of pain - physical, emotional, relational, spiritual, financial - and how they can potentially impact individuals. Through biblical stories of Job and the woman with the issue of blood, we shed light on the importance of empathy, prayer, and faith. It's easy to feel unheard or uncared for when dealing with chronic pain, but we share our own experiences in finding healing, comfort, and encouragement through trust in Jesus.

In the final segment, we share our thoughts on finding hope amidst adversity. Hear from Dr. Michelle Bengtson about her book and its relevance in recognizing God's work in our lives. We delve into how we can experience God's hope in today's uncertain times and how to share this hope with others. Our conversation is a beacon of hope, inspiration, and a testament to the healing power of faith. Tune in, and you might just find the strength you need to overcome your battles.
