How should Christ-followers respond to suffering? What if our calling is to suffer? How do we respond when our loved ones suffer? A.W. Tozer once said, "It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply." In his newest book, Counted Worthy, pastor and author Dr. Connor Bales tackles these tough questions about suffering. But it's his own experience as a father and fellow sufferer that has equipped him to pen this book.

In the episode of the Decisions Podcast, Bales shares the unique calling he and his wife, Mary, have been counted worthy of stewarding in raising two children with a rare genetic disorder. But, as he explains, standing tall above the brokenness, disappointment, and hurt, this discussion illuminates a practical theology promising hope, supernatural comfort, and a closeness to God that he has experienced first-hand.
