*Trigger Warning* This episode mentions sexual abuse and listener discretion is advised.


On today’s episode of
Embracing Your Season, Paige is joined by author Ben Locke. Ben’s story is one of deep pain, frustration, and wrestling with God ultimately leading to an unexpected outlet for his suffering. Ben’s book, In Our Suffering, Lord Be Near, is a raw, vulnerable, and poetic image of the truth that we will have trouble in this world but that God is with us every step of the way. This episode is a powerful reminder that suffering is part of the fallen world we live in and that when we surrender our pain to God, He will always use it for our good.
Paige’s Takeaways:

  • Focus on the positives in a season of suffering
    • God will always use the pain and the suffering - and He will never abandon us
    • Suffering can lead to blessings, intimacy, and a deeper relationship with the Lord
    • Don’t always take away adversity or the negative circumstances that our kids are going through - in actuality, it can lead them to more maturity, a deeper relationship with God, and depth of character
  • Suffering is not linear
    • Remember that in the hardest moments, we are never alone. God is always with us and we have the gift of community.
    • Give yourself grace
  • While suffering, lean into God
    • He knows what’s going on, but when we tell Him how we are actually feeling (frustrated, angry, disappointed) and process it with Him - we realize we are not alone, and He will meet us where we are.
