Episode #205: How to Grow Through the Terrible Beauty of Refining

by Amy 'n' Cheri Leave a Comment


It’s a hard truth. Our greatest times of growth most often happen during seasons of suffering. How do we leverage the hard places instead of crumbling under them? Meg Apperson, author of Sky Full of Stars: Learning to Surrender to God’s Perfect Plans, tells her story of suffering through the diagnosis and birth of her daughter who has a cranial facial syndrome. Listen in to hear how Meg has embraced their family’s continuing suffering as a gift of God’s Presence that brings growth.
