Suffer Strong

How to Survive Anything by Redefining Everything

By: Katherine Wolf, Jay Wolf, Louie Giglio - introduction

Narrated by: Katherine Wolf, Jay Wolf, Shelley Giglio

Is it possible to embrace suffering as a privilege, rather than a punishment? Beloved authors Katherine and Jay Wolf offer listeners the bold invitation to trust a known God with an unknown future, as well as practical insights into surviving anything by redefining how we think about everything.

After miraculously surviving a near-fatal brainstem stroke at age 26, as told in their memoir, Hope Heals, life for Katherine and Jay Wolf changed forever - and so did the way they viewed God, the world, and themselves in it. There was no going back to normal after such a tragedy. Yet Katherine and Jay learned that suffering is not the end, but rather the beginning of a new story.

In Suffer Strong, they invite us into this new story as they share universal lessons and helpful practices that will help us to:

• Recognize we are being equipped for an uncommon assignment, not cursed by our story.
• Transform our unmet expectations into brave anticipations.
• Disrupt the myth that joy can only be found in a pain-free life.
• Rewrite the narrative of hard circumstances by turning our definitions of suffering into declarations of strength.
• And, ultimately, thrive even in the lives we never imagined living.

A new way to look at suffering

This book shows you how a couple suffered strong.
It was inspirational to hear Jay and Katherine, who are living such a hard life, find beauty in it, They tell their story with humor and grace.
I enjoyed hearing their voices tell their story. I feel better after reading it and inspired to take the life God has given me and change the way the way I am living it. I hope I can use my disappointments and pain and turn things around so God can use me in a positive way.

Truth and honesty of the authors

I enjoyed this story. it is read with humility, humor and grace. It makes it really something to cherish when it's read by the authors who truly love and cherish all the Lord had done and will do.

The good hard life

I had the privilege to see Catherine at a women’s conference years ago and knew her story was one I’d never forget. Over the last few months my family has gone through some very difficult things & I knew it was time to read this book. To those on the mountain Catherine’s story is inspirational but to those in the valley Catherine is a joyful & humorous guide through darkness toward The Light…Jesus. I am so grateful to have read this and for her reminder to be joyfully rebellious in the face of adversity. “Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning”

Beautiful

An extraordinary example of faith, strength, wisdom, and living life to its fullest. Beautifully shared.

Powerful Testimony!

Loved the strength and optimism Jay and Katherine express despite the difficult path they continue to traverse! The way they lean on the promises of God minute by minute to help them navigate this path He's allowed them to walk is inspirational to all of us with health issues or who have experienced loss!
