Julie on Finding Light in the Dark: The Spirituality of Suffering
I don't see how I can never find one example or one little iota of god in every situation and how he accompanies me in my pain.
Why does suffering seem to hit us hardest when we're already down? Julie from '2 Sober Chicks' tackles this heavy question with a mix of honesty and hope. In this episode, she dives into the spiritual side of suffering, sharing her own story of feeling abandoned by God during tough times. Julie reads from a book by a monastic order that addresses the divine presence in our darkest moments and what we can do when tragedy strikes.
Her personal anecdotes reveal a journey from breaking up with God to finding her way back to a gentle, sweet relationship with Him after months of struggle. Julie also touches on how people often feel uncomfortable around loss and suffering, and how their attempts to help, though sometimes misguided, come from a place of care. She encourages listeners to look for even the smallest signs of God's presence, even in the midst of pain.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of faith, resilience, and finding light in the darkest places.
