Mid-Year Highlights #2 How Your Pain Can Shine His Light or Not?

It's mid-2024, and we're highlighting the two most popular episodes so far. How Your Pain Can Shine His Light or Not is the second most popular episode this year. In this conversation, Liesl Field, author and songwriter, delves into her personal journey of tragedy and loss, while discussing the concept of sharing Jesus when others are journeying through pain.

How Your Pain Can Shine His Light or Not? gives key information to help believers share their faith. The conversation explores the importance of empathy and being present for others in their pain, rather than offering trite answers or trying to fix their problems.

The conversation also highlights the need for self-awareness and honesty when ministering to others, and the impact of sharing one's own story of pain and healing.
