Offer It Up: Finding Hope in Suffering with Megan Hjelmstad

from Living LIT

Suffering is something every one of us will face, but what if, instead of running from it, we learned how to unite it with Christ for something greater? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Megan Hjelmstad, author of the brand-new book Offer It Up, to talk about her journey through painful suffering and how it led her to a deeper embrace of redemptive suffering.Megan shares her personal story of struggle, and surrender—and how God used that pain to draw her closer to His heart. Her testimony is a reminder that our crosses, when united with Christ, can become instruments of grace and hope—not only for ourselves but for others.In this episode, we talk about:Megan’s journey of faith and suffering that inspired Offer It UpWhat it really means to “offer it up” in our daily livesPractical ways we can Offer Up even the smallest things and parts of our dayHow to find hope and purpose when life feels overwhelmingWhether you are carrying a heavy cross right now or walking with someone who is, this conversation will inspire you to see suffering through the lens of God’s redeeming love.Resources & Links:Get Megan’s book Offer It Up: Discovering the Power and Purpose of Redemptive Suffering - St. Paul Center Megan’s website and learn more about her ministry Home – %Connect with Megan on Instagram: @InstagramFollow Living LIT at Instagram
