Purpose in Pain

Laura Smucker explores God’s redemptive work in suffering. Drawing from Hagar’s story and her own losses, she shows how pain can drive us to God’s presence, build compassion, and yield hope. She shares some small steps we can take to allow God to bring healing to the pain and closes with a time of group sharing and a call to walk with hurting students and each other.

"Purpose in Pain" was presented at Western Fellowship Teachers' Institute 2017.
