Ep 8 Karen Davis: Finding Joy Even Through Suffering

"We can be free of fear when we’re free of the fear of loss." "Even in the loss of my husband, there’s been a gain of eternity that’s tangible."In this conversation, Karen Davis shares vulnerably about her recent experience with deep loss in the passing of her dear husband David, how God uses real suffering to prepare us and transform us,  and how to find inextinguishable joy and comfort through the crucibles of our lives.Thirty years ago, Karen Davis and her late husband David met Jesus "Yeshua" and were plucked out of the NYC Broadway scene and sent into Israel to open a drug/alcohol rehab facility that would bring Jewish and Arab people together as "one new man" as well as pastor  Carmel Congregation (“Kehilat HaCarmel”), a Messianic congregation located on the top of Mount Carmel, Israel.  Karen is also a recording artist and songwriter, well-known internationally for her Messianic praise and worship music."Thank you that you’ve allowed me to go through this suffering, this crushing, because this is how you’re preparing me.""When we embrace trials and tribulations as something the Lord has allowed, and instead of complaining and becoming bitter, you embrace it -- it is working for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."www.karendavisworship.comSupport the show
