Why Your Pain Feels Louder Than God’s Blessing

What was Paul’s thorn in the flesh—and could it be the same kind of thorn you're dealing with today? Whether it's a hidden struggle, sexuality, a chronic condition, rebellious kids, a strained marriage, or unanswered prayers, this episode will unpack why God allows persistent pain to remain. Paul never names his thorn … maybe because God wanted you to see your own in the story. We'll talk about false gospels, real suffering, and what we can build our faith on. If you’ve ever felt like giving up, like you’re tired of always being strong, this episode’s for you. God's power shows up strongest in your weakness.

C.L. gets that what’s cool and acceptable now, may not be cool and acceptable tomorrow—and most importantly, may not be what’s best.
