Listening Through Pain: When God Speaks in What Hurts

from Retire Repurposed · host Ben Taatjes & Jerrid Sebesta

Expanding on last week's discussion about listening for God's voice, Ben Taatjes slows down to explore something many avoid: pain. For retirees, pain isn't theoretical; it's deeply personal. Discover why pain is often when we give God our fullest attention and how pain accomplishes what comfort never will. Learn how comfort dulls our questions while pain awakens them and why pain functions as a signal—not a sentence or verdict on your life. Rather, it is a call to correction and growth. Ben reveals how God speaks through restlessness, peace, people, and yes, pain itself. This tender episode encourages those who are hurting to resist rushing past their pain and instead lean in and listen carefully to what God may be saying through it.
