For the final episode of 2023, we’re doing something a little different. Throughout the last 62 episodes, we have heard some of the most incredible, heartbreaking, hopeful stories from people all over the world. How they have suffered, how they have found hope – and how God worked through it all.

Today, I’m talking to Dr Katherine Thompson - researcher, mental health social worker and author. Katherine's new book The Discipline of Suffering is an amalgamation of her personal and professional journeys with suffering and shares some ways to use our pain for good.

Sheridan is a broadcaster, speaker and author of nine books. His latest work Praying through Infertility is written by men and women who have faced infertility themselves - a journey that he and his wife Merryn have walked through.  

Sheridan is also no stranger to the microphone – he currently hosts Pause for Thought on BBC2 in the UK, where he now lives with his wife. But he’s also formerly the presenter of Open House on Hope 103.2, so it was an honour to welcome Sheridan to back into the Hope building to chat with him.
