Episode 5: Where is God in the Suffering of Betrayal Trauma?
Welcome to Hope for Wives
With your co-hostesses:
Pam Blizzard from RecoveredPeace.com

Listen now:
In coaching betrayed wives, we hear some betrayed partners lean heavily into the Lord and some are tremendously angry with him.
So, today we are going to discuss suffering and God.
Where is he in all of this?
We Will be Discussing:
1. Can you pick one moment where you saw God caring for you in your suffering as a betrayed partner?
2. Can you pick one moment where you were angry at God in your suffering?
3. How is trusting God different than trusting a person?
4. How can we offer hope to our listeners when it comes to trusting God in our
pain?
