Stasi welcomes friend, teacher, singer-songwriter, and lover of God Michelle Patterson to share her powerful story of unwavering and resilient faith amid chronic pain and illness. Michelle has found deep strength in her relationship with Jesus, and she desires to flip the script: Choosing life in the midst of chronic suffering is a stunning strength, not a weakness. She reveals how anguish and adoration can coexist; true worship arises from our deepest, most honest places. We'll hear Michelle's heart and empathy through a song she wrote to honor those living with chronic pain—a testament to God's sustaining love even in our darkest moments.
