Healing Through Acts of Love and Compassion
What if the pain you endured became the very place God chose to reveal His love?
In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I sit down with Sue Corl to talk about suffering, resilience, and the quiet power of compassion. Sue shares her journey of growing up with significant physical challenges, enduring years of surgeries and bullying, and how a simple invitation to hear the gospel transformed not only her life, but her family’s as well.
This conversation isn’t just about hardship; it’s about what happens when faith takes root in unlikely places. We talk about how God meets us in suffering, how love is often shown through action rather than argument, and how everyday kindness can open doors for healing and hope.
This episode invites us to consider:
How does God use pain to shape purpose?
What does it look like to reflect Christ through compassion instead of judgment?
And how can small acts of love create lasting impact?
Sue’s story reminds us that healing doesn’t always come through dramatic moments—but often through faithful presence and love lived out in ordinary ways.

Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
