Summary

How do we walk with loved ones through suffering when we’re suffering too? Today I get to talk about this topic with Whitney Pipkin, who experienced the profound comfort of Christ in the midst of her mom’s 20-year cancer battle. In the discomfort of death and in the face of her complete inability, Whitney encountered Jesus, the man of sorrows. Whitney’s testimony is one every Christian needs to hear.
