Theology + Physiology: What Does the Bible + Science Say About Suffering?
In this episode of Theology & Physiology, Shelly Tyler opens up about how her own chronic suffering changed her understanding of why God allows pain and trials in our lives. Through years of counseling those in pain, her views were shallow until 4.5 years ago when she underwent suffering herself, asking God hard questions. Scripture guided her understanding as she struggled with depression and a new identity.
Now Shelly sees how trials brought her intimacy with God and a truer identity in Him. She shares how suffering can shape us to be more like Christ through conforming to His image. Romans 8 is unpacked to show how the Spirit gives life, shapes us as God's children, and makes us "more than conquerors." Practical ways to practice "suffering well" include lamenting honestly, memorizing key passages, getting off emotional rollercoasters by changing underlying beliefs, and brain rewiring.
This thought-provoking discussion provides insight for anyone walking through chronic illness, pain, or hardships. Listen in as Shelly encourages viewing trials through an eternal lens to draw closer to our faithful God in the midst of suffering according to His purposes.
