In this moving conversation, I sit down with Sarah Stonestreet, host of The Strong Women Podcast and Director of Community Outreach at St. George’s Anglican Church, to explore the beauty, confusion, and profound hope found in walking through suffering with God.
Together we reflect on:
Learning to trust God when life breaks your heart
The spiritual mystery of memory and identity in dementia
The surprising ways hymns and Scripture stay rooted in the soul
How suffering forms us into Christ’s likeness
Finding God’s presence when the “why” remains unanswered
Remembering that Jesus enters our pain. He wept before He healed
The quiet power of small acts of obedience and faith
Sarah shares tender stories of walking with her father through dementia, moments of loss and also breathtaking glimpses of grace, like singing hymns together that his heart never forgot.
This episode reminds us that the Christian life is shaped not only by truth but also by tears, and that Christ meets us in both.
If you or someone you love is walking through grief, doubt, or seasons that feel heavy, we pray this conversation brings real comfort and renewed courage to trust the God who never forgets His children.
