Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology is a part two, so if you haven't listened to last week's conversation with our friend Katherine Wolf, I encourage you to do so. Now before we dive in, I'd like to read a brief excerpt from Katherine's latest book titled, Treasures in the Dark: “David taught me that laughter and worship aren't so different. In fact, they are simply two of the shapes that hope takes. Both laughter and worship are most powerful when offered from full brokenness of body or of circumstance. Sure, it's great to celebrate and praise God when life is good. But whooping with laughter when you can hardly speak or raising your hands in worship from the seat of a wheelchair…now that's evidence of a soul who has found transcending security and joy in Divine Love. Suffering can harden us to the good things in life, or it can open us up to receive them with abandon.” Grab your Bible if you've got one and welcome to the porch…we're really glad you're here.

Find out more from Hope For The Heart Here. Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology is with my friend Katherine Wolf about God's compassionate purpose with regards to our pain. Many of you have probably heard or read some of Katherine's story – she suffered a massive stroke when she was 26 years old, not long after giving birth to her and her husband Jay's first son, James. Her story is riddled with debilitating physical and emotional suffering – which she endures to this day – and yet she honestly oozes hope. Because she learned to find treasures in the dark by asking the hard and awkward questions pain prompts: Where is God in this? Am I alone? What is the point of all this suffering? Is hope just a cruel, false promise? Katherine dared to wrestle for answers without letting go of God. This is a rich and layered conversation so it's best to listen slowly and give the tenderest places in your heart time to soak it all in. Thank you for carving out the time to be with us today…we're really glad you're here.

Mike "C-Roc" welcomes the incredible Katherine Wolf — stroke survivor, disability advocate, speaker, and co-founder of Hope Heals. At just 26 years old, Katherine suffered a massive brainstem stroke that nearly took her life and left her with lifelong disabilities. But what followed was not the end — it was a profound beginning.Katherine opens up about waking up from a coma, facing the loss of her physical abilities, and the clarity of mind that made it even more painful — and more meaningful. She shares how she found strength through grit, grace, humor, and a deep sense of purpose that has since shaped her mission to inspire others with broken bodies, broken brains, and broken hearts.Together, Katherine and Mike "C-Roc" explore what it truly means to be made of something more — to live as a miracle, to honor the body as the only vessel we have to interface with the world, and to reframe suffering as sacred. From becoming the face of the American Stroke Association's FAST campaign to finding peace and clarity in unimaginable circumstances, Katherine's story is a masterclass in resilience, faith, and the power of showing up — fully — for life.This is an episode that will challenge your thinking, stir your spirit, and push you to consider: what are you made of?

In this episode of In Process, Clay and Allie sit down with author, speaker, and stroke survivor Katherine Wolf to talk about what it means to find treasures in the dark. Together, we unpack powerful truths about living with a “new normal,” embracing purpose in the middle of pain, and the surprising beauty that can emerge from seasons of suffering. Katherine also offers practical encouragement for any young adult who feels stuck, isolated, or unsure how God could ever use their story. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in your hardest moments—or how to keep going when life looks nothing like you expected—this episode is for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I also give myself permission to dream new dreams for my life and to not be wedded to the dreams from when I was a child...I have the ability to pivot into the story that God is writing and not be insistent on a story that's no longer available...God is on the move in this story right in front of my nose if I have eves to see that." — Katherine WolfToday's Episode: Everything doesn't always work out the way we hope it will.

It's Katherine Wolf's first time on the podcast and Sadie can't wait to introduce you to her (if you didn't know about her already!). After a life-altering stroke at the age of 26, why does Katherine call herself "a big fan of the good, hard life?" Katherine found a life-transforming hope in Jesus when she almost died and she wants to share it with everyone because we all are going through hard things! As Katherine says, no one can tell YOU how to feel about your own story — that's something you get to decide and she almost had to die to truly find this life-altering hope. Sadie and Katherine talk about the importance of showing up for friends and family in especially hard circumstances and why not knowing what to say is okay! After this conversation, we know you're going to feel lighter and more hopeful about what's currently going on in your life. We can do this hard life because we are NOT alone — we have Jesus and we have each other!

Katherine Wolf, in her book Treasures in the Dark says, “Get curious about what new thing your suffering could be offering you.” What if we don't have to fit into a box one way or another but rather there is room for all the parts of us.. Today I'm talking about my thoughts around Jesus interaction with Mary and Martha in Luke 10. We'll discuss some of my thoughts about whether this portion of Scripture is really what we might think at first glance or whether there's actually something more that Jesus is trying to lead us into.

About how so ​much ​of ​life ​is us ​expecting ​more of ​this ​world ​and ​less ​of ​God. Katherine challenges us to flip that, “we ​should ​really ​expect ​more ​of ​God ​and ​less ​of ​this ​world.”Listen to Katherine's first and second interviews on The Conversation. Order Treasures In the Dark here.  For more on Katherine's ministries, visit Hopeheals.comThanks to our amazing partners on this episode: International Justice MIssion & Vern EideInternational Justice Mission is a global nonprofit working to end slavery and violence around the world, taking special care of survivors from the moment they're rescued all the way through their healing and restoration.

Are you ready to replace the “God, help me to have a good day tomorrow” bedtime prayer? Maybe for your kids…and maybe for yourself! Today, Katherine is offering you a benediction fifteen years in the making. What started as a bedtime prayer for her sons has become her prayer for a generation of souls hoping to live their good/hard story well to the very end. If you need fresh inspiration and real-talk motivation for your prayer life today, this episode is for YOU! What We'll Cover: What we miss out on by seeing life as only good OR hard. How we can become better, instead of bitter, from our suffering The surprising ways that Jesus defined “blessedness” and what it means for our pain The opportunity we have to reframe painful limitations as the places of ultimate freedom Treasures in the Dark: 90 Reflections on Finding Bright Hope Hidden in the Hurting by Katherine Wolf: https://hopeheals.com/treasures “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” - C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses This Is a Joyful Rebellion! by Brad Montague - https://youtu.be/Pp_gxJspWEI?si=K7Uf_qvq9EAXVY-e My Benediction for The Good/Hard Life May you see life as a good/hard story that God is writing. May you open your hands to release old dreams and receive new ones. May you find the miracle you've been looking for has been right in front of you all along. May you accept the stunning capacity you have to endure because of Jesus, who endured for you. May you live out the hardest parts of your story with a joyful rebellion against the darkness. May you believe the boundary lines around your life are good and pleasant because God uniquely assigned them to you. May your invisible wheelchairs become avenues to a new kind of freedom because of Jesus Scriptures referenced in this episode: Psalm 139:16 Isaiah 43:18-19 John 12:37 John 16:33 Deuteronomy 31:6  Psalm 16:6 Philippians 4:13 Galatians 6:5  *** Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!

This week, Katherine is sharing why Resurrection Day has never meant more to her than it does now. For most of us, “resurrection” means the one-time-only, past-tense miracle that proved Jesus was who he said he was. It was an experience specific to him. But after surviving a catastrophic stroke, Katherine realized she really needed resurrection to apply to her. In a slow-motion miracle of her own, she experienced victory over death. It's looked less like a rolled-away stone and more like being rolled away in a wheelchair. But even so, resurrection became personal and present-tense. So what has she learned? Jesus' resurrection wasn't a one-time event. It was actually a first-time event that sparked a chain-reaction of resurrection through the rest of time. He set the staggered but certain rhythm of disappointment then delight, hard then good, wounding then healing, death then new life. This week on The Good/Hard Story Podcast, we're unpacking what resurrection has looked like in Katherine's day-to-day and how you might experience it in your own way. And if now is NOT the time for new beginnings in your life, she has a word for you too.

These activities are not simply ways of making the present life a little less beastly, a little more bearable, until the day when we leave it behind altogether. They are part of what we may call building for God's kingdom.” - N.T. Wright, Surprised by Hope Scriptures Referenced: John 11:25 *** Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!

Be honest. Deep down, are you waiting for a happy ending before you feel permission to celebrate your life? In this solo episode, Katherine is sharing how she stopped waiting for closure and began practicing the spiritual discipline of “joyful rebellion” against fear and despair. We want to share something that could change everything for you: It's possible to celebrate the lives we *actually* have, rather than the lives we wish we had. Because when we celebrate our here-and-now lives, we are taking radical ownership of the stories we've been given. We're thanking God for another day in the land of the living. We're acknowledging that He is with us in the messy middle. Today on the podcast we're talking… What it looks like to celebrate and mourn at the same time Katherine's personal and practical recommendations for hosting your own “brokenness brunch” (which includes a very enthusiastic sidebar on frittatas!) The life-changing magic of surrounding ourselves with a diversity of hard stories Why we should NEVER “save the good stuff” for special occasions How to take radical ownership of the story you've been given If the hope of a happy ending is getting in the way of your healing, this episode is for YOU! -- Treasures in the Dark: 90 Reflections on Finding Bright Hope Hidden in the Hurting by Katherine Wolf: https://hopeheals.com/treasures Adam Young's research on the healing power of telling your story: https://adamyoungcounseling.com/2019/12/10/why-engaging-your-story-heals-your-brain/ *** Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!

We're exploring some deep questions on the podcast this week and I would love to hear how you're processing them. How do we navigate painful circumstances in life? How do we walk with others who are experiencing something deeply challenging? How do we respond when life doesn't turn out the way we expected it to? I was so deeply touched during my conversation with my guest today, Katherine Wolf. She is my beautiful sister in Christ who is also a stroke survivor, disability advocate, and author. She and her husband, Jay, have authored two best-selling books Hope Heals and Suffer Strong. In our conversation, you'll hear Katherine reveal treasures found in dark times, share practical insights on how to encourage and support those who are struggling, and more! Listen in!

It's a new year, there's fresh grace, and we can even set new goals - but let's not pretend we need to be or can be completely different people to step into what God has for us in 2024.  This podcast is for you.

Get ready, my friend, because today we're headed to Atlanta, Georgia where we recorded this episode LIVE at a Fresh Grounded Faith event. Katherine Wolf and Michael O'Brien joined me, and WOW! I was so grateful for their wisdom and perspective as they helped answer a wide range of questions from the audience! Questions about the hardest lesson we've ever had to learn, if we've ever struggled with comparison as a result of our disabilities, and how to deal with teenagers who are struggling with gender dysphoria. Good questions, right? Well, I'm telling you, this is one interesting, multi-textured, inspiring conversation that will leave you encouraged and full of hope. But that's not all! We'll end this podcast with a powerful song from Michael that'll make you want to sing along. So, be sure to listen until the very end! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/272
