What does it mean to trust God when life feels unbearable?

In this first episode of The Crushing, I share my personal story of walking through suffering and learning how to trust God in the middle of it. This episode is raw, unpolished, and honest—because pain rarely comes wrapped in clarity or resolution.

In the Christian faith, “the crushing” is often the place where God refines us, draws us closer, and strengthens our faith. But when you’re living it, the crushing can feel lonely, confusing, and overwhelming. In this episode, we talk about what trusting God in suffering actually looks like—when prayers feel unanswered and faith feels fragile.

This episode lays the foundation for the series, exploring faith in suffering, trusting God through trials, and finding hope when life hurts. If you’re walking through grief, loss, illness, uncertainty, or a season where God feels silent, this conversation is for you.

You are not alone. And your suffering is not without purpose.

I’m inviting guests to share their real stories of trusting God in the middle of suffering. If you’ve walked through grief, loss, illness, betrayal, or a season where God felt distant, and your faith was tested but not destroyed, I would love to hear your story. This podcast is a space for honesty, hope, and pointing others back to God in the midst of pain.

If you feel led to share how God met you in your suffering, this invitation is for you.
