How to Comfort a Hurting Friend (with Caroline Newheiser)
When someone we love is hurting, we want to help. But sometimes we simply don't know what to say or do. How can we offer genuine comfort without being insensitive, rushing the grieving process, or saying something that causes more hurt?
Cheryl welcomes Caroline Newheiser back to Whole-Life Worship for a conversation about graciously comforting a hurting friend. Drawing from Scripture, years of biblical counseling, and Caroline's own experience walking through cancer, they discuss what it looks like to come alongside someone who is suffering and lovingly point her toward hope in Christ.
