What if the very moments that knock you flat are the ones God is using to write a story better than the one you'd hold the pen for yourself?\nIn this conversation, Angela Davis is back with us to unpack the misconceptions that keep us stuck — stuffing emotions, isolating, distracting, and white-knuckling control. As a counselor and pastor's wife, Angela walks us through Romans 5 and Curt Thompson's work on suffering, helping us see perseverance as the long road and resilience as the strength to get back up inside the hard thing. She shares honestly about a two-year lawsuit in the middle of a church exodus, and what it looked like to keep trusting Jesus through it.\nYou are not alone, friend. Whether you're persevering or just trying to get back up today, we want to point you to the Author who is writing a good story, and to the names of God that meet you right where you are. I'll be praying that you experience the nearness of Jesus.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/EiuIGCrfzj8QD0h6cORO3MbZWMmgKYuXVCNPjBE6A9U/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMGU3/OGQyMDBkNWExYmY5/MzE2NDc4N2RjNDBi/YTEyZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
