Finding God in Our Pain with Sherrie Pilkington

Before every podcast, I pray that God will use it for His purposes. This podcast with Sherrie Pilkington needs to be soaked in. It is so prevalent when God shows up, and I was overwhelmed with so much emotion during many parts of today’s guest testimony sharing. Sherrie is a sweetheart, really. She is a friend and somebody who has a testimony – not unlike you, but uniquely hers. The part that I love most is that she relates to everyone in a beautiful way through the pain.

And ultimately, isn’t that an easy way for us as humans to connect? In the emotion of hardship, in the emotion of grieving, in the emotion of loss? Of not understanding God all the time? Of worry? Of overwhelm? Of apathy? Of so many things that come alongside her in brokenness? And yet, at the same time, realizing the ever-evolving, ever-present love of our Father and how good He is. Even in the pain.

That is Sherrie’s podcast name – Finding God In Our Pain. It’s the call of her life to live a life of “thrive” and help others learn that we, too, have access to that process. We all have access to that unlock, and she does an incredible job of sharing that.

So I hope that you sense His presence today. I hope you, too, are drawn in by her storyline and her perspective, and the vision that God was gifting me during the episode. You guys, it’s so interesting to stand alongside people. And we need to do it more often.

Today, I hope you realize the power of being with people in their pain, and you take something away. Even if you are sitting with just yourself today, I hope you understand that God is with you all the more. It’s OK to ask hard questions. It’s OK to wonder. It’s OK not to know. But I hope that you find a knowing that you didn’t know before you arrived through this episode. Guys, be blessed, know I love you. You know that this podcast blesses me every single time. And my prayer is that it blesses you, too. And I know I say that all the time, but it’s like every time there’s an evolving story, and ultimately His love is what exists in the weaving of every single person.

nGuest Bion

Widowed in early 2018 after 32 years of marriage, her whole world was shaken to the core of her existence. Life no longer made sense to her and she needed answers and needed to know she was not alone.

n

In the midst of her continued healing, her sons, daughters-in-law, and beautiful grandchildren brought her the fresh water of joy. But she also found special comfort and encouragement in the stories of other women who have endured the devastation of life-shattering events and can testify to the beauty of Christ meeting them in their despair.

n

As she has lived through this journey, she discovered this truth: we are never alone, as God does not hesitate to enter into our pain with us. He speaks the most beautiful things in the dark.
