"What's Your Story?" with Hannah and Stephani
Beth Winn - Staying Grateful in the Midst of Disappointment and Suffering
Show Notes

How do we stay grateful in the midst of disappointment and suffering?

Great question. Let’s talk about it. 

Beth Winn shares her story-–years of infertility, followed by the birth of premature twins, and her husband’s battle with chronic back pain. 

It’s been no easy road for Beth, and sometimes it’s just one thing after another. 

James 1:2 tells us to consider it a joy when we face trials. But how? 

It might be difficult, but we can consider trials a joy. Life can be good…and hard at the same time. 

Beth shares how she’s worked to remain grateful and how she’s seen God’s hand in her circumstances all along the way.  

Consider these questions as you listen:

  1. Is it possible to hold both hard and good moments at the same time? 
  2. What “normal” are you taking for granted?
  3. Are you regularly counting your blessings?
