#049 "We Do Not Lose Heart" (2 Cor. 4:16)

May 04, 2025 • Kate • Season 1 • Episode 49

"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day." (2 Corinthians 4:16)

Let’s get real for a minute: have you ever felt like your body is breaking down, your soul is worn out, and your faith is quietly slipping into the background? You're not alone. In this episode, Kate invites you into an honest, hope-filled conversation about what it actually means to not lose heart when life is painfully hard — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Drawing from her own struggles with chronic illness and the brutal honesty of Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:16, Kate explores how we can stop faking strength, start telling the truth, and find real renewal in the midst of real suffering. This isn’t about quick fixes or Christian clichés. It’s about discovering that God welcomes your weakness, your doubts, and your most unfiltered questions — and still promises to renew you day by day.

If you've ever been afraid to say, “This is too hard,” this episode is for you. It might just be the permission slip your soul has been waiting for.
