by Dr. Ioana Popa
What do we do when a massive disease knocks at our door unexpectedly? When our life changes as a consequence, how do we still find God in the midst of suffering?
Humanity has wrestled with these questions for centuries, and there are unending books to try to find the answers.
But there is nothing like hearing the LIVED answers from someone who faced such a major traumatic event and moved through it with grit and gratitude.
I had the honor of interviewing Laura Bratton, who faced the difficult reality at an early age that she would become blind.
How did she transition to life without sight? What happened to her faith? What made her pursue a BA in psychology, a Master of Divinity, and author her book Harnessing Courage? What is she doing now in her vocation?
We unpack all this in our Renewal Conversation, along with tips for you such as:
✨ The key elements to move through suffering from Laura's experience
✨ How to shift our mindset from struggling to empowerment and the use of gratitude
✨ A quick summary of the psycho-synthesis Map of Consciousness and how to avoid Spiritual By-pass
✨ Her favorite bible verse guiding her life is: "I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 NKJV
