172 | Praying Through Chronic Illness & Suffering with Olivia Gerber
About this episode
Olivia Gerber shares her journey through chronic illness and how faith and prayer have helped her cope with suffering.
Olivia Gerber is a sunset-chasing, Jesus-loving adventurer based in Northern Indiana. She finds pleasure in perfectly ripe avocados, plane tickets, and lavender lattes, but her deepest joy is found at the feet of her Savior and she longs to spread His hope in the world. Her health challenges have given her a tender heart toward those facing chronic pain, and she loves bringing hope to this under-served community through her book, Hold Hope. She recently married the curly love of her life and is loving her new adventure with Jack! In this conversation, Olivia shares how suffering stripped away her sense of control and turned her faith inside out—and how praise, specific prayer, and keeping a record of God's faithfulness carried her through the hardest years. If you're in a season where the answer feels like "no" or "not yet," I hope this encourages you to keep praying anyway. You can find Olivia at letterstoholdhope.com and on Instagram @letterstoholdhope. Her book "Hold Hope" is available through the Every Woman a Theologian shop. **Buy Hold Hope:** https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/hold-hope-paperback/ **Shop Prayer Resources** ⦿ Every Woman a Theologian Shop…
