Kristen Weatherell has gone through a lot of physical suffering in her life, and she's gained

this important perspective.

The gospel, it tells us why suffering is, and it tells us what God is doing about it.

So we know from the whole Bible, from God's salvation story, that suffering is a result of sin entering the world.

But we see what God has planned from eternity past to do to restore his people to himself

and to make everything right again.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamut, author of Choosing Gratitude for

November 21st, 2017.

I'm so thankful to have two new friends, Kristen Wetherall and Sarah Walton, here with me in the studio this week.

And Kristen and Sarah, you've lived a lot of life.

In fact, somebody was just telling me before this conversation, somebody sitting in the engineer's room said,

one of the amazing things

about your story is that you're relatively young and you don't expect some of this kind of

story of chronic pain and suffering.

You think that's somebody who's older who's got that story.

But I think a lot of younger women and older women as well are going to relate to your story.

And so thank you for joining us.

Thank you. I want to say thank you for writing this book called Hope When It Hurts, but in order to

write it, you have had to be living it. And I want to thank you for embracing the journey God

has had you both on and the challenge of the chronic pain and for them being willing to share out of your journey

with others.

Thank you.
