Rewriting Suffering: K.J. Ramsey's Honest Conversations on Pain and Grace
Grace most rises and reaches toward you, not alone, but in the space between us.
Imagine facing life’s toughest challenges and finding not just survival, but grace. That’s the heart of K.J. Ramsey’s podcast, 'This Too Shall Last'. In this introductory episode, K.J., a therapist and author, flips the script on how we view suffering. Instead of the usual tales of triumph over adversity, she delves into stories that are still unfolding, where pain and grace coexist. As someone who battles an incurable illness herself, K.J. brings a deeply personal perspective to these conversations.
She’s not just a therapist; she’s also a patient, making her insights both professional and profoundly personal. Her guests share their ongoing struggles with mental health issues, trauma, addiction, chronic illness, and spiritual doubts. These aren’t stories with neat, happy endings—they’re real, raw, and still in progress. K.J. integrates theology and interpersonal neurobiology to explore how vulnerability can be a pathway to experiencing God’s grace.
She draws from the works of Curt Thompson and Dan Siegel to provide a framework that is both scientifically grounded and spiritually enriching. This episode isn’t just for those who are suffering; it’s for anyone who wants to understand how to find beauty in brokenness. You’ll hear about the power of weakness and the unexpected ways grace can manifest in our darkest moments.
If you’re tired of the 'overcoming' narrative and want something more authentic, this podcast offers a sanctuary of understanding and hope. Tune in to 'This Too Shall Last' and discover a community where pain is acknowledged, and grace is found.
