S3. E1: SHOWING UP AS LEADERS IN SUFFERING with Vaneetha Rendall Risner

Welcome to Together We Rise Podcast! This is a place where every woman has a seat at the table, and where we can affirm, equip and amplify women's voices globally. This week, we're excited to speak with Vaneetha Rendall Risner. She shares with Cheryl Nembhard and Aubrey Sampson (the new co-host of this podcast) about her testimony that involves a lot of suffering and a lot of God showing up in the midst of her pain – giving her gifts of learnings and wisdom for herself and other leaders who are also in the midst of trials.

Vaneetha is the author of several books and Bible studies, some of which you can find below and the rest can be found on her website below. She and her husband, Joel, live in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she writes about Christ’s unwavering presence in suffering.
