What does it look like to live faithfully when your right now circumstance is full of pain or suffering?

To really trust the Lord when where you are is not at all what you plan for or hope for.

I'm Ruth Joe Simons. Welcome to the Graceless podcast.

Today, my co-host, Eve Steipps, and I have the privilege of talking about these very questions with someone who is

well acquainted with them, my dear friend, Catherine Wolf. Catherine is a stroke survivor

and disability advocate who leverages her redemptive story to encourage those with broken

bodies, broken brains, and broken hearts. She and her husband Jay live in Atlanta with their

sons, James and John. Together, Catherine and Jay are resourcing people experiencing disabilities

through Hope Heels Camp and Mend Coffee.

They have co-author two bestselling books, Hope Heels and Suffer Strong.

Grab a cup of coffee or lace up your tennis shoes for a walk and join us for today's conversation.

Catherine, I am so excited to have you on the podcast today.

Thank you for joining you and I on this season of the podcast.

Oh my goodness.

What a gift to get to be here with you, ladies.

Thank you for having me.

Oh, my goodness.

When I thought about having a season around the themes of my new book now and not yet,

pressing in when you're waiting, wanting, and restless for more. You were at the top of my list of having a

conversation of what it means to press in when you're right now, your right now circumstances

may not be what you expected, what you want, or it may not even be a season, as in it may not be something that

passes and you just have to like kind of wait out.
