106 – How God Meets Us in Our Suffering with Clay and Jean E. Jones
How does God meet us in the middle of our deepest pain, and what does that actually look like?
In today’s Bold Faith Now episode, Missy sits down with Clay and Jean E. Jones authors of How Does God Use Suffering for Our Good? Living with Hope While Making Sense of Life, to tackle one of the hardest questions every believer faces: Why does God allow suffering, and how could it possibly work for our good?
Through deeply personal stories of cancer, miscarriage, unanswered prayers, and long seasons of waiting, Clay and Jean share how God uses suffering not to break us, but to form us. This conversation is honest, theological, and full of hope for anyone walking through pain right now.
In this episode, they discuss:
-
How God uses suffering to produce endurance, character, and lasting hope
-
How you can grieve deeply and still experience joy in Christ
-
How remembering God’s faithfulness in the past strengthens your faith today
This episode will encourage you to trust God in the middle of your hardest seasons and remind you that your pain is never wasted.
Remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!

Welcome Friends!
My name is Missy, and I love Jesus!
I am a Christ-follower, wife, mom, author, speaker, Colson Fellow, and host of the Bold Faith Now podcast. My heart is to encourage believers to live boldly for Jesus in a world that often tells us to stay quiet, blend in, or keep our faith tucked safely in the shadows.
Through writing, speaking, and podcasting, I help believers grow in bold faith, stand firm in truth, and view the world through a biblical worldview. Because following Jesus was never meant to be passive. It is a call to shine His light, speak truth with grace, and take the next obedient step.
My prayer is simple: to point others to Jesus, encourage bold faith, and remind believers that now is the time to live courageously for Him. Join the Bold Faith community and listen to the podcast for encouragement to live out your faith with conviction, clarity, and courage.
