Episode “When Life Won’t Let Up: Finding Strength To Keep Going” With Kaitlin Chappell Rogers, Meredith Brock, and Kaley Olson

0:00 34:52

Have you ever walked through a season where it wasn’t necessarily one big thing — it was just one thing after another?

The unexpected bill. The hard conversation. The appointment you didn’t want to make. The kid who needs you. The work deadline. The thing you thought would finally get easier … but somehow didn’t.

Eventually, even the strongest among us can find ourselves thinking, Lord, can I please just catch a break?

In this episode, Kaitlin Chappell Rogers joins Meredith and Kaley to talk about what it looks like to keep going when life keeps wearing you down. Through her own experience of what she calls “a thousand little cuts,” Kaitlin reminds us that biblical perseverance isn’t about pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps or finding a little more strength somewhere inside ourselves. It’s learning to depend on the strength and grace of God, who has never stopped holding us.

You’ll learn:

• Why coming to the end of your own strength doesn’t mean you’ve failed. • How knowing the end of the story changes the way you live in the messy middle. • One simple practice for the days when everything feels like too much.
