Vulnerability, Hope & the Beauty of Christ with Steve Midgley

Описание: In this episode, Haley and Dustin are joined by Dr. Steve Midgley, author of Understanding Trauma and Executive Director of Biblical Counselling UK.

Steve shares two powerful stories of hope—from coming to faith in Christ after years of skepticism in medical school and learning vulnerability during a difficult season of caring for his special needs daughter. We explore how God meets us in our weakness and brings growth through seasons of hardship. We also reflect on the mental health crisis of our day, the opportunity for biblical counseling, and how Jesus Himself entered into suffering and trauma.

It's an insightful and encouraging conversation on the beauty of Jesus, and how we understands our weakness—and gives us hope in it.

So you have every reason for hope, for every challenge in life. Because hope means
everything.
