Jesus Will Meet You There

Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, the award-winning authors of Hope When It Hurts remind us that weakness isn’t the end of our story—it’s the very place Jesus meets us.

When suffering strikes and God feels distant, many are left wondering if Jesus truly understands their pain.

Jesus Will Meet You There offers a compelling reminder that Jesus doesn’t stand apart from human weakness—he steps right into it. Through thirty rich, reflective readings, Kristen Wetherell and Sarah Walton trace how the life of Jesus reveals the tender heart of God for hurting, doubting, and weary people. Far from demanding strength we don’t have, Jesus meets us in our frailty with his own strength, compassion, and power.

Readers will walk away strengthened in their faith, steadied in their doubts, and more confident in the personal, compassionate love of Christ. This book helps believers not just survive seasons of weakness, but grow in intimacy with the Savior who fully knows—and still chooses to draw near.Kristen Wetherell is a pastor’s wife, mother, and writer.
