About this episode
This episode discusses finding God in suffering with authors Kristen Weatherall and Sarah Walton.
What happens when the prayers keep coming but the circumstances never seem to change? In this episode of MercyCast, Raleigh Sadler sits down with authors Kristen Weatherall and Sarah Walton to discuss their new book, Jesus Will Meet You There. Together, they explore chronic illness, parenting through crisis, unanswered prayers, grief, fear, and the long seasons of suffering that can leave us wondering where God is.
