In this episode, I sit down with my friend Tiffany to talk about suffering, trust in God, and the perspective that carried her family through the loss of their brand new home in a house fire. Tiffany shares what happened the morning of the fire, what it felt like to stand helpless and watch their home burn, and how Christian community showed up with real, practical care. We also talk about what Scripture teaches us about suffering and trusting God, and why stories like Job and Joseph can steady our hearts when we do not understand the why. If you are walking through real-life challenges, rebuilding after loss, or just trying to hold on to real faith in a hard season, I hope this conversation helps you take the next step with God.
