About this listen

A wise person once said that you can't know that Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have. Shawn Reinsel is a loving husband to his wife, Dana, and father to six sons; he pastors a church on South Padre Island, TX, authors books, and heads up a thriving international ministry. Before these blessings, however, he walked through a heartbreaking season of loss and betrayal.

Shawn joins us to wrestle with the complex question of God's presence in our suffering. We dig into why the Holy Spirit often leads people into the wilderness, how Romans 8 reframes suffering with purpose, and why David’s long conflict with Saul prepared him to be a king after God’s heart. This is a grounded, compassionate conversation for anyone wondering where God is when hope feels thin.

If the themes here resonate—grace, suffering, spiritual formation, and union with Christ—tap follow, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a short review so more people can find the show.
