Your generosity helps bring the hope of Christ to "one more" hurting person.

One listener recently shared how MARKINC Ministries’ biblical teaching helped deepen their understanding of Scripture and transform their perspective on suffering:

“God has used you to light a fire under me, and I am even learning to thank Him for the pain.”

Every day, people are facing grief, addiction, frightening diagnoses, and difficult questions about God and suffering. Through In His Grip sermons, Daily Treasure devotionals, Ask Dr. Betters videos, and Help & Hope podcasts, MARKINC Ministries offers biblical truth and encouragement to those who need it most—all at no cost to them.

Our End-of-Year Funding Campaign has a goal of raising $30,000 by December 31 to keep these resources available and help us reach one more person with the hope found only in Jesus Christ.

Would you prayerfully consider making a gift to help us continue this ministry?

Thank you for helping us share the hope of Christ with those who need it most.

But the promise of Psalm 23 is not that we will avoid the valley. The promise is that we will never walk through it alone. “You are with me.” Those four words are the heartbeat of the covenant. From the beginning of Scripture, God has repeatedly assured His people, “I will be with you.”

Even in seasons of deep sorrow, God's steadfast love remains. We may not understand our circumstances or see how God will work through them, but His mercy does not fail. Each morning, we are reminded that our hope rests not in our circumstances, but in the faithfulness of our unchanging God.

“His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
- Lamentations 3:22–23

When Mom Is Sick: Chronic Illness, Motherhood, and Trusting God – A Conversation with Lauri Hogle

This Help & Hope conversation is part of our mini-series Go Ask Your Mother. In this series, we are asking the kinds of questions many younger women wish they could ask a mother, an older woman, or a trusted friend who has walked a little farther down the road.

Today we will talk with Lauri Hogle about chronic illness, motherhood, marriage, work, identity, worship, and the hard grace of learning to receive help. We will also talk about how Lauri is now walking with her married daughters as they grieve the loss of children through miscarriage and stillbirth and experience their own chronic illnesses.

Lauri is an author, musician, wife, mother, and grandmother whose life has been marked by both deep suffering and steady faith. Years ago, as a young mother of three little girls, Lauri began experiencing frightening and mysterious symptoms. Pain, weakness, headaches, vision loss, numbness, and exhaustion changed almost every part of her daily life. There were days when she could not hold her children, play the piano, cook meals, or do the ordinary tasks most mothers simply push through.

Lauri’s story is not a simple story of sickness followed by an easy answer. Though God did provide important medical help, her journey with chronic illness has continued through many years and many crises. Yet through it all, the Lord has strengthened her faith, deepened her worship, and taught her what it means to belong to Christ when life is fragile and the body is weak.

For every young woman who is trying to care for children while her own body is failing, for every wife or mother who wonders if she is still useful when she cannot do what she once did, and for every woman who needs to know that Jesus sees her in the hidden places of suffering, Lauri’s story will offer help and hope.

As we open the Scriptures each day, God quietly shapes our hearts before He shapes our parenting. He teaches us to speak with gentleness and discipline with love. We learn how to forgive generously, persevere patiently, and trust Him with what we cannot control.

Even in difficult seasons, the Lord remains faithful to His work in His people. Our growth may not look the way we expected, and we may not see all that He is doing. But we can rest in His promise to complete the work He has begun in us through Christ.

Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. -Philippians 1:6

There is always one more thing to do, one more person to help, one more mess to clean, one more worry to carry. Even when our bodies are still, our minds continue racing. We easily forget that we already live in the Shepherd's pasture, surrounded by His provision and care.
