191. Embrace God's Character Development in the Midst of the Chaos -- Jen Roland

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Have you ever seen God use difficult circumstances in your life to grow your character? Maybe he is making you more patient. I know that is a big one for me that I struggle with. Maybe is helping you become more compassionate and empathetic towards others. I think one of the main ways God grows our character is through the storms in our life. So today, that is what I want to talk about on the podcast, the E in my STRENGTH acrostic from my book, *<a href= "https://jodirosser.com/depth-book/">Depth: Growing Through Heartbreak to Strength</a>. Again, its one year birthday is at the end of this month. Now if you missed my episodes on the S, T, and R in STRENGTH, then I definitely recommend going back and listening to those episodes, especially the S and T. I think those are very foundational as we are walking through grief.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Today, I want to focus on the E. It stands for Embrace God’s Character Development in the midst of the Chaos. If I am being completely honest, I don’t always like to Embrace the Character Development. But I do think it is an important way God chisels us and makes us more like Jesus. So today on the podcast I have Jen Roland. She is going to be sharing her story and how God used chronic pain to grow her and her character. I cannot wait for you to hear the truth she has to share.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Jen wrote <a href= "https://jodirosser.com/finding-victory-over-defeat/">a post for My Heartbreak to Strength Story Blog Series</a> back in 2021.
