God Meets Us in Our Suffering, by Rolf Jacobson

Author: Sky High Podcast Network February 12, 2026 Duration: 15:57

Today, Roberta talks to Rolf Jacobson about his new book God Meets Us in Our Suffering: Hope and Encouragement for Those Journeying Through Cancer, available from Brazos Press.

A cancer diagnosis changes everything.

Fear, uncertainty, and suffering become daily realities in the midst of cancer--not just for patients but also for families, friends, and caregivers. Where is God in this?
 
In God Meets Us in Our Suffering, three pastors who journeyed through cancer together share their deeply personal stories. With honesty, compassion, and humor, they offer theologically rich reflections on illness and hope. This book explores how

● we can navigate doubt and find strength in the theology of the cross;
● God meets us in suffering with grace and power;
● Psalm 23 guides us through uncertainty and suffering; and
● laughter, love, and community can sustain us in the darkest moments.

For those living with a serious illness and those journeying alongside them, this book offers comfort, courage, and a renewed trust in God's faithfulness.
