Show Notes

In this episode, Karen and Brooklyn talk about the hard parts of life and how we can suffer well.  Let's be honest, life is hard.  We all face difficulties and trials. Often, we withdraw or push others (and God) away.  But, is there a better way to handle painful seasons?  Listen to the podcast, and then grab a friend and discuss!

  1. List (without going into detail) 3-4 difficult seasons that you have gone through.
  2. Talk about how you handled each of those seasons?  What did you do well?  How could you have handled it better?
  3. What have you learned through seasons of suffering?
  4. How has God redeemed a season of suffering?
  5. What do you believe about God? How does that affect how you suffer?
  6. Do you have "valley girls" who point you to Jesus and remind you to keep looking above during seasons of trial?
  7. Have you witnessed someone who suffered well and glorified God in their suffering?  What did that look like?
  8. What is one thing that Karen or Brooklyn said that challenged you or inspired you?
  9. Are you currently in a season of suffering? What is your next step?
