Building Endurance, Character, and Hope - A Story of Faith and Ulcerative Colitis: Anna Catherine Brenny :: [Episode 364]

Ulcerative colitis affects more than two million people in the United States, most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 30. In this episode, we shed light on the hidden suffering of this chronic illness and the strength it demands.

Anna Catherine "AC" Brenny, team leader of our Charleston, South Carolina community, shares her powerful journey of walking through the physical pain, relentless side effects, and ultimately three life-altering surgeries. Through it all, AC reveals what the Lord taught her about endurance, the shaping of character, and a hope that does not fade.

Her story is a reminder that in seasons of hardship, we are never alone. When we lean into Jesus, He is at work—bringing purpose, healing, and hope even in the most difficult chapters.

VERSE OF THE WEEK:

Romans 5:3-4 "We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

Are you in a season of suffering or hardship? Practice leaning into God and allow Him to give you the endurance to persevere, the character to face your challenges with strength, and the hope that will anchor your soul.
