Faith in Chronic Pain: Finding Purpose & Perseverance in Hard Times

🔥 Get a free coaching session (one of 3): https://pursuitofcalling.as.me/intro

Some mornings, the pain is loud. In this episode, I share openly about living with muscular dystonia and how I choose to keep pursuing my calling even in the middle of suffering. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay faithful, strong, and purpose-driven when life feels unbearable, this video will encourage you.

I talk about:
• Why naming your pain is not weakness but courage.
• The inspiring story of Rob Oliver (Still Walking), who lives as a quadriplegic and continues to walk in his God-given calling.
• How community and friendship help us endure hard times.
• Scriptures like James 1:2–4 and 2 Corinthians 12:9 that remind us of God’s presence in suffering.
• A powerful lesson from Ed Mylett’s The Power of One More on raising your standards and letting your actions reflect your faith.

👉 Challenge for You: Write down five standards you want to raise in your life this week. Ask: What fruit do I want to see? What actions will produce that fruit? What standards must I set to live into my calling?

If you’re walking through chronic pain, hard seasons, or spiritual struggle, you are not alone. God’s grace is sufficient, His power is made perfect in weakness, and your calling is not paused by your pain.
