from The Diary of a Discarded Daughter - Redeeming a Painful Past · host Lisa Schafer
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Lisa explores a hard but necessary question: Why is the corporate church so uncomfortable with hearing about your suffering?Many believers are still walking through chronic pain, trauma, loss, or unanswered prayers. But when that suffering doesn’t resolve quickly or turn into a clean testimony, it often makes people uneasy. And when they try to speak about it, the room often grows tense. The conversation shifts.
