Transitions, celebrations and suffering are often defining moments in our lives and the lives of our disciples. In this episode we talk about (1) God as a suffering God, (2) how our own suffering (rather than a certificate) qualifies us to make disciples, and (3) a Suffering Chart to help you and your disciple discover how God is working to comfort and shape him (and how our presence and empathy is the greatest gift we give our disciples).

"I know of no better way to connect with the heart of a disciple than to meet him in the crisis of faith--where he's wrestling to reconcile his pain with God's goodness--and share with him what I've learned about God through my own hardships." (pg 77-78)
