In today’s episode, Pastor Mike explores why God does not want us to compare our suffering but use it to be sympathetic to others. He uses his experiences with the ugliness of the disability hierarchy that was rampant in the disability rights movement to demonstrate why ranking each other’s experiences by degree of trial is unhealthy. As a young advocate, he was told, “You only have cerebral palsy. You don’t truly understand discrimination.” Is that true? Tune in and learn how the “woe is me” game helps no one to overcome trials. Suffering helps us love others in trials or write them off because they don’t suffer like us.
