Shownotes

Pain is inherently uncomfortable, but what happens if you or someone you love has to deal with pain every single day? People say they will pray for you, and then they run for the hills. There is a grieving process over all that is lost under such circumstances. There is also a choice: what will my attitude be? Gordon and Cherise Selley choose to praise the Lord each and every day, in the midst of extreme pain. They have discovered that pain is an instrument which is used in sharing the sufferings of Christ. Listen in for a deeply honest conversation about the challenges of chronic pain for the one suffering and those supporting and loving them. Learn to stay out of judgement and remain in curiosity with people suffering with chronic pain. If you, or someone you love, is in pain, trust the Lord and surrender. He may have a plan for your pain to reach many others.
