Do you struggle with the daily hardship of living with chronic illness or chronic pain? Do you feel misunderstood by your family, church body, or friends? Do you wonder if God has forgotten you? Perhaps you are experiencing a depth or type of suffering that is difficult for you to explain and hard for people in your life to understand. Maybe you feel abandoned. Perhaps you wonder if God is listening. You might be surrounded by supportive people, but still long to talk to someone who truly understands what you are going through. If you can relate to any of these experiences, consider joining a supportive group of fellow travelers. In this group, you will be truly seen, known, and understood in your suffering. You will be reminded that you are not alone and encouraged that God has not forgotten you. You will experience a refreshing taste of the community that may be missing in your life. Support Group DetailsBiblical counselor, Kate Brooks, offers a live, online support group that is available year-round on Fridays at 1PM EST and Thursdays at 11AM EST.

Participant ReviewsAfter the first session I knew I had found &quot;my&quot; people. As I often feel tossed about and beaten up by the daily waves and storms of chronic illness, this group provides a safe place of honesty, understanding and hope. The leader is knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, and has created a safe place for men and women to open up, share their struggles and find encouragement. In addition to encouragement we also learn practical tips and techniques for living with chronic pain/illness. This is also a group of Christ followers, and we encourage each other in faith as well.&quot; - Group Participant &quot;Our pain group has been an absolute blessing in some very dark times! No one there is perfect. You can say anything that comes to your mind and anything you feel and no one will judge you! The biggest thing is there is a supportive Christian group of people that actually do understand how you feel and you can share anything with them and that is a blessing. God is good all the time even when we feel bad, but it still great to know there’s people out there that understand us and what we are going through!&quot; - Group Participant&quot;This group has been such a blessing to my life already. I’m going on my third year with constant physical pain and it’s been tough to know what keeping hope in Christ looks like when I feel like I have very little control over both my body and my emotions. The space to think through incredibly difficult but helpful questions with those who understand is such a gift! I’ve really appreciated Kate’s weekly prompts that have reminded us to acknowledge the pain and grief, but also drawn us to hope in Christ. I’m looking forward to starting the next one!&quot; - Group Participant &quot;This support group offers a truly refreshing and flexible option for anyone trying to learn how to adapt to a lifestyle of chronic pain, or to move forward following significant trauma. Even for those who find it challenging to leave their homes, it is a refreshing avenue to connect with others who actually &quot;get it,&quot; and who share common values centered on the Lord Jesus. Kate actively facilitates this group, enlightened by personal experience and equipped with a sound understanding of useful techniques and relevant scriptural references, often in spite of her own struggles. I would highly encourage others struggling through similar circumstances to check out this group&quot;. - Group Participant
