Anchored In Always- healing and recovery for life, marriage and lossEp:110- The Purpose of trials in our life!Count it all joy, the Bible says, when we face trials of various kinds. In this final episode of 2023 I share some thoughts on scripture from James chapter 1 on how we look at trials in our lives as believers and how we should respond to them. Jesus already told us that in this life we would have trials, so are you prepared to grow from them?
