When we are crushed and brokenhearted, how do we find hope? Linda Dillow and Lorraine Pintus illuminate the deep biblical truths the Lord has built into their own lives through suffering. We'll discover how to cling to God when our dreams are shattered and how to persevere when we feel like giving up. Drawing from their book, Hope for My Hurting Heart, we'll gain practical help and inspiration for our own faith journeys.Verses Mentioned: Isaiah 55:8-9; James 1:2-4; 1 Samuel 30:1-6Hope For My Hurting Heart: Eight Heart Skills to Help You Cling to God and Not Give Up (https://www.amazon.com/Hope-My-Hurting-Heart-Skills/dp/1641589299/ref=asc_df_1641589299?mcid=f3950e31048733508882446e2ef45f0b&hvocijid=15336080566841039230-1641589299-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15336080566841039230&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030035&hvtargid=pla-2281435178058&psc=1)Connect with Kelly: KellyHall.org (https://KellyHall.org)Related episodes: https://kellyhall.org/podcast/episode-51-how-do-i-walk-through-suffering-without-giving-up-on-god/ (https://kellyhall.org/podcast/episode-51-how-do-i-walk-through-suffering-without-giving-up-on-god/)https://kellyhall.org/podcast/ep-80-finding-gods-presence-in-the-pain-of-injustice-luann-mire-and-patti-richter/ (https://kellyhall.org/podcast/ep-80-finding-gods-presence-in-the-pain-of-injustice-luann-mire-and-patti-richter/)

Cheryl Scanlan, Executive Coach and Founder of Promised Land Living, skillfully explains how a life of humility and receiving rescues our hearts from being stuck in the exhaustion of comparison, pretending, and performing. With vulnerability and wisdom, Cheryl opens up tender places of suffering in her own life and illustrates, with practical examples, how humility leads to the freedom and abundance Christ promises. Other questions we address: How do we faithfully support a friend walking through an unresolved story? How do we move beyond transparency into vulnerability?Verses mentioned: Galatians 3:1; Romans 8:1;1 Peter 5:6; Isaiah 30:15, 40:31, 41:10, 55:8-9; 2 Corinthians 1:4; John 2:24-25; Matthew 12:20Learn more about Cheryl and courses: PromisedLandLiving.com (https://promisedlandliving.com/start-your-journey/)Cheryl's coaching: CherylScanlan.com (https://cherylscanlan.com/)KellyHall.org (https://KellyHall.org)Related episodes: https://kellyhall.org/podcast/episode-60-how-do-we-embrace-the-abundant-life-dr-tammy-smith/ (https://kellyhall.org/podcast/episode-60-how-do-we-embrace-the-abundant-life-dr-tammy-smith/)https://kellyhall.org/podcast/episode-51-how-do-i-walk-through-suffering-without-giving-up-on-god/ (https://kellyhall.org/podcast/episode-51-how-do-i-walk-through-suffering-without-giving-up-on-god/)02:54 Cheryl's Journey to Faith04:34 Understanding Shalom09:37 The Comparison Trap vs. Power of Humility22:21 Struggles of Living a Hard Story26:21 The Power of Isaiah's Words29:07 Transparency vs. Vulnerability37:54 Hard Surrenders with Children42:30 Embracing Abundance in Christ
