On Tuesday, April 5, 2016, we hosted a free webinar entitled “When Joy Is Hard To Find: Experiencing Christ in the Midst of Suffering.” When things in our life hit a rough spot, it is easy to become anxious and fearful. Often we can be plagued with doubts and struggle to experience Jesus in the midst of the challenge. The good news is that in the midst of suffering, God is very near. This webinar shares from the lives of the panelists and from the wisdom of the saints ways to find Christ’s joy and consolation in the midst of suffering.
Our panelists include:
- John Beaulieu
- Dan Harms
- Katie Prejean

Thank you. You all did a great job with this. I listened to it while working on a painting of St. Benedict! I just lost my husband, so this subject matter was appealing to me. God bless you all.
