Life is anything but fair.
We struggle with sickness, disease, cancer. With chronic pain, and debilitating accidents. With disability and discouragement, the unrelenting battles of emotional and mental heath, with their myriad of problems including anxiety, deep discouragement and devastating depression. We can suffer as a result of someone else’s poor choices. Some might suffer because of being single or childless. Others suffer because of a broken marriage or from watching their children suffer. Perhaps you’re suffering as you battle to overcome addiction or sin or some other form of the natural man or woman. Your battles may also be experiences of same-gender attraction, gender dysphoria, or a soul-wrenching identity crisis. And some of life’s hardest battles can be the personal and private ones you carry in your heart, the ones that you don’t talk about with anyone but God. And we cannot leave out the constant pain and sense of loss that can occur when death takes away the presence and companionship of someone you love so dearly.
With so much suffering, how can we continue to exercise hope and faith in Jesus Christ.
This episode is a conversation about how we can do just that, and how our trials can give rise to a greater purpose in our life and greater faith in Jesus Christ.
As you listen, I hope you hear God's voice speak to you to let you know how and why you should not give up and why persevering will be well worth it in the end.
