Where Is God When I Feel Weak? with Emil...

Jenna Griffith
About this episode

In our weakness, He is strong. A simple truth so easily forgotten, which is why I am honored to be bringing Emily Jensen on today to discuss weakness and what to do when we feel weak. While no one ever wants to feel weak, the reality is we all face these feelings at some point, so it’s important to know what to do when we come face to face with our weakness and, more importantly, what God says about it.


Emily Jensen is the cohost of Risen Motherhood podcast, co-author of the book Risen Motherhood, and most recently, author of He Is Strong - Devotions For When You Feel Weak.


Emily shares hope, encouragement, and personal stories on weakness and I pray you leave feeling uplifted and reminded that your weakness doesn’t count you out, but gives you an opportunity to lean into the strength you have in Christ.
