Does My Suffering Have Any Meaning? with Allen Crostic

What this episode covers

Happy Wednesday! This week we are joined by Allen Crostic. Allen has been on the podcast before and we are thrilled to have him back on the podcast. Three of our co-host are joining us as well - Ana, Sarah, and Jeanine. Suffering has been a topic our co-hosts this season are really interested in getting more answers on. Two of our co-host deal with chronic pain and other co-hosts that have someone in their life dealing with chronic suffering or someone who didn't get healed. Allen has a powerful testimony! He shares his story of getting miraculously healed. He had an encounter with God that he could not deny that he was healed. However, within the last couple years, he started having health issues again. Now, he’s left wrestling with those hard questions. “Did I actually get healed?” and “Does my suffering have any meaning?” We are so grateful for his insight on suffering and choosing to honor God even when it’s painful. This is one of our favorite episodes! We hope you enjoy listening. -- -- -- -- -- LINKS How Can I Defend Being a Christian? with Ryan Pauly I Was Running Away From God with Travis Monen How to Navigate Relationships in a Godly Way Can Christian's Struggle with Mental Health? - Christie's Story I Need Jesus to Show Me More with Alycia Wood Do the Things in the Bible Still Happen? with Alycia Wood Did the Resurrection Actually Happen? with Andy Bannister Listen on: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2MuVWFbZzue3ZLgCtIJGzB Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-something-real-podcast/id1481017856 www.janellmwood.com Follow us on: Instagram: finding_something_real Facebook: Finding Something REAL with Janell Wood Tiktok: @findingsomethingreal Youtube: Finding Something REAL with Janell Wood
