Honor the Struggle

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Resilience with Dawn Olivia, the podcast where faith, healing, and perseverance come together to inspire your journey forward. I’m your host, Dawn Olivia, and today’s episode is one that speaks straight to the soul.We’re diving deep into the power of honoring the struggle—not avoiding it, not rushing past it—but truly sitting with it, learning from it, and allowing God’s grace to meet us right in the middle of our pain.Joining me is Tom Tenney, author of the deeply moving book The Weight of Grace. Tom has walked alongside many who have endured trauma, broken relationships, and spiritual pain, and through his own personal journey, he’s come to understand that grace isn’t just a comfort—it’s a lifeline.In this episode, we talk about what it means to carry your pain with purpose, how healing begins when we stop hiding, and why embracing our vulnerability is one of the most courageous things we can do.If you’ve ever felt like your struggle was too heavy to bear, this conversation will remind you that grace is not only present—it’s powerful.So, let’s lean in. Let’s grow. And most importantly, let’s honor the struggle.Life Tools:Resilience Journal: https://a.co/d/brZSfCv*CourseCareers: https://coursecareers.com/a/0ac314f8Resilience E-book: https://a.co/d/dGsdeUj*Stash: https://get.stash.com/r/get_30AX74CACB*Disclaimer: These affiliate links may have some terms that apply, which means I may get a commission if you purchase.
