Is it possible to embrace suffering as a privilege, rather than a punishment? Beloved authors Katherine and Jay Wolf offer listeners the bold invitation to trust a known God with an unknown future, as well as practical insights into surviving anything by redefining how we think about everything.
After miraculously surviving a near-fatal brainstem stroke at age 26, as told in their memoir, Hope Heals, life for Katherine and Jay Wolf changed forever - and so did the way they viewed God, the world, and themselves in it. There was no going back to normal after such a tragedy. Yet Katherine and Jay learned that suffering is not the end, but rather the beginning of a new story.
In Suffer Strong, they invite us into this new story as they share universal lessons and helpful practices that will help us to:
- Recognize we are being equipped for an uncommon assignment, not cursed by our story.
- Transform our unmet expectations into brave anticipations.
- Disrupt the myth that joy can only be found in a pain-free life.
- Rewrite the narrative of hard circumstances by turning our definitions of suffering into declarations of strength.
- And, ultimately, thrive even in the lives we never imagined living.
This book is for everyone who has a father. And for all those who know what it's like to long for a father's blessing: his approval, affection and attention. It's for anyone who's ever longed to hear your dad say, 'I love you. I'm so proud of you.'
You may already know what it's like to live in the rays of such a blessing, to flourish in the marvelous light of a father's love. Yet, in this 'fatherless generation,' it's also likely you've never known the blessing of your earthly dad. The possibility of hearing the words, 'I love you, I'm proud of you,' may be gone-washed away by your dad's death or distance or divorce or disinterest.
But here's the good news-regardless of how amazing or absent, invested or disinterested, empowering or deflating your earthly father was or is-you do have a perfect Father. We see all throughout Scripture that God wants us to know Him as Father and wants us to live under the waterfall of His blessing.
In Not Forsaken, Pastor Louie Giglio invites us to reframe our view of fatherhood, by understanding that God is not simply the bigger version of our earthly dads; He is the perfect version of our earthly dads.
