How do you Trust God when Life is Relentlessly Hard? with Vaneetha Risner

Welcome to Wednesday! Today on the podcast, Gaia chats about her podcasting journey. She mentions what has been most impactful for her and what her biggest takeaways are.

We also welcome Vaneetha Risner to the podcast!  Vaneetha shares her story of having polio and the suffering it caused throughout her life. She talks honestly about struggling with the idea of faith and how she came to believe in Jesus. She also talks about how losing her son, Paul, caused her to angerly turn from God and her experience of returning to him. Vaneetha graciously shares this and so much more of her story in today’s episode. We hope you are encouraged.
