Pain Doesn't Have Us

Real talk about ongoing pain, discouragement, and finding purpose in life when God feels close some days and silent others. I'm Shell Cowper-Smith, and I'm done with the performance, the "I'm fine" script, pretending pain doesn't mess with every part of my life identity, future, and faith. I created this channel because I don't want to live isolated, forget who I am, or feel shelved because of my limitations. I wanted someone who understands and says—it's okay, you're not crazy, just call out to God for the strength for one more day.

Join me each week as we have the honest conversations nobody else is having. We'll dig into what it really looks like to live with ongoing pain and struggle with faith when your prayers feel unanswered.

No forced positivity. No empty platitudes. Just real stories, hard questions, and the messy truth about finding God in the middle of suffering.
