  <title>Building Endurance, Character, and Hope - A Story of Faith and Ulcerative Colitis: Anna Catherine Brenny :: [Episode 364]</title>
  <description>  Ulcerative colitis affects more than two million people in the United States, most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 30. In this episode, we shed light on the hidden suffering of this chronic illness and the strength it demands. &amp;amp;nbsp;   Anna Catherine “AC” Brenny, team leader of our Charleston, South Carolina community, shares her powerful journey of walking through the physical pain, relentless side effects, and ultimately three life-altering surgeries. Through it all, AC reveals what the Lord taught her about endurance, the shaping of character, and a hope that does not fade. &amp;amp;nbsp;   Her story is a reminder that in seasons of hardship, we are never alone. When we lean into Jesus, He is at work—bringing purpose, healing, and hope even in the most difficult chapters. &amp;amp;nbsp;   VERSE OF THE WEEK:   Romans 5:3-4 “We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” &amp;amp;nbsp;   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:   Are you in a season of suffering or hardship? Practice leaning into God and allow Him to give you the endurance to persevere, the character to face your challenges with strength, and the hope that will anchor your soul.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;   ________________________________________________ &amp;amp;nbsp;   Hind’s Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard     Listen to a similar story:&amp;amp;nbsp;   Ep. 352- Kristen Jones: “A Second Chance at Life- A Story of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease” &amp;amp;nbsp;   Download a phone background of the weekly verse  HERE! &amp;amp;nbsp;  Give to StoryTellers Live  in honor  of AC and any of our past storytellers! &amp;amp;nbsp;  Join us “In the Room” on Patreon  to access new stories straight from our live gatherings around the country! &amp;amp;nbsp;   Click  here  for further details on our Stories of Hope luncheon on March 11th in Birmingham! &amp;amp;nbsp;   Click   HERE  for a free sample of our When God Shows Up: Stories of Faith bible study &amp;amp;nbsp;   Shop for our  When God Shows Up  Bible Study series~ Stories of Hope, Stories of Freedom, Stories of Faith   Are you interested in one-on-one coaching with our very own Robyn Kown!?&amp;amp;nbsp; Click   HERE! &amp;amp;nbsp;   Check out all of our  live speaking engagement opportunities  on our website. &amp;amp;nbsp;   Sign up to receive  StoryTellers Live’s weekly newsletter  for updates and details on our live gatherings. </description>
