I Want to Follow Jesus, But…

Walking with the Lord in the Midst of Suffering

Women of Wisdom is back! Jeni Terrapin joins us for an honest conversation about following Jesus through suffering and hardship. Together, we explore what it looks like to ask hard questions, recognize God’s work in the midst of pain, and navigate doubt, anger, and suffering as disciples of Christ. Suffering is one of the hardest realities we face as followers of Jesus, so how do we walk through it faithfully?

I Want to Follow Jesus, But…

We are back!! This week we talk through and challenge the statement: "I want to follow Jesus, but..." We have a conversation about how Jesus is better than anything the world could offer, the dangers of putting your hope in fleeting things, the joy of the Christian life, the bondage of sin, and the freedom we have in Christ. Jesus is worthy of it all, take Him at His Word when He says that, and follow Him today, tomorrow, and forever. He truly is the way, the truth, and the life. TUNE IN!!
