Have you ever found yourself asking, “What’s the point?” Maybe it’s in your marriage, your finances, your health, or even in your faith. You’ve tried to do what’s right, but it feels like nothing changes. You’re exhausted. You wonder, “God, where are You in this? What’s the purpose of all this pain?”

Here’s the truth: people don’t actually hate pain—what we really hate is pain without a purpose. Because the reality is, when there’s a reason, we can endure almost anything. Whether it’s athletes training their bodies, mothers enduring labor to bring new life, or Peter learning through failure—pain can actually be God’s preparation for His greater purpose.

In today’s message, Pastor Jeff unpacks this powerful truth: God never wastes your pain. What feels like breaking may actually be His preparation for a greater purpose in your life.

So if you’ve been walking through trials, if you’ve wondered why life feels so heavy, lean in. Today we’ll discover that there is a reason—and there is purpose in your pain.

Let’s dive in.
