About the Episode
In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Karrie Hahn Devlin about her book, Limping Heavenward: Living by Faith in Comprehensive and Chronic Suffering. During the conversation, Karrie explains what distinguishes comprehensive and chronic suffering and addresses the doubts, fears, and painful questions about God that can arise when suffering persists. She discusses the role of biblical lament, the spiritual warfare sufferers face, and how the life, death, resurrection, and ongoing ministry of Jesus Christ offer enduring hope. Karrie also considers how believers can process disappointment with the church and encourages those who feel weary from a long season of suffering to keep limping heavenward in faith.

About the Book
How do Christians endure suffering that upends every aspect of life—perhaps permanently? Comprehensive and chronic suffering can assault our faith, strain our relationships, and leave others in the church unsure how to help. A shaky theology of suffering—others’ or our own—only compounds our hurt.
In this honest, direct, and compassionate guide, Karrie Hahn tackles the hard questions: What does affliction reveal about who God is and how he relates to us? How can we move forward when we are devastated by pain? She helps sufferers keep walking by faith—and equips other believers to walk with them for the long haul.
