Finding God in Our Pain Turns ONE!! Year in Review

<p>Finding God in Our Pain Podcast Turns ONE!!</p> <p class="p1">Bonus Episode!</p> <p class="p1"></p> <p>It’s my one year podcasting anniversary! I'm ONE YEAR OLD!  It’s celebration time for Finding God in Our pain because my learning curve was real but I can testify that God is faithful!</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>Today’s episode is my year in review. What did I learn in this past year from hearing the stories of others? How have their experiences shaped my understanding of who the God of the Holy Bible is when it comes to pain and suffering? </p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>It has been such a precious experience because of the places I’ve been allowed to go and by places I mean, my guests have allowed me to enter into their intimate pain, their vulnerable places and their genuine struggle with God. To me that is sacred ground where our pain meets Gods sovereignty.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>I have been extravagantly encouraged to learn, in deeper ways that God never leaves us. That is pure gold in this life. With each story my heart has been given significant revelation in my understanding of God’s heart for us in the midst of this life's trauma, trials and disappointments.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>In todays episode I’ve asked my friend Amy Heilman to be the interviewer and to help me reflect on the past year of guests and topics with a focus on what I’ve learned in my own life through the concept of shared story.  You may remember Amy's episode on Identity. She kicked off 2021 having an in-depth conversation with me on our identity in Christ.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>To date, I have produced 27 podcast episodes (a couple of which are bonus episodes) and I currently have 2600+ downloads. As you know, Finding God in Our pain is a bimonthly podcast so I release episodes every other Wednesday.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p>The majority of my listeners are in the states but here is a short list of the areas where I also have listeners: Switzerland, Ireland, Russia, India, Netherlands, Germany, Guatemala
