7-Day Companion Series · Suffering and Hard Seasons

When It Hurts:
Seven Days for
the Hard Seasons

Not a theology lecture. Not a list of things to do when you are falling apart. A seven-day walk with Scripture through what God is actually doing when the ground gives way.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

For the seasons when
faith is not the easy thing

This series was written for the person sitting in something hard right now. Not the person who has found the silver lining yet. The one who is still in the middle of it, still trying to figure out where God is, still deciding whether to keep going.

There are no tidy answers here. Suffering does not produce tidy answers, and anyone who offers you one has probably not been where you are. What this series offers instead is a walk through Scripture with someone who believes God is present in the hard seasons, even when He does not feel like it.

Seven days. Seven honest conversations. The brokenness of the world, the presence of God, the permission to lament, the garden of Gethsemane, the Spirit who intercedes when you have no words, what suffering produces and what it does not, and the hope that does not disappoint at the end of the road.

"You do not need to be further along than you are to begin. You only need to come as you are."

What to Expect

  • Scripture reading and reflection each day
  • Teaching that grounds you in God's word
  • Practical challenge to apply what you learn
  • Journal prompts for deeper reflection
  • Closing prayer to end each day
