Join me, Megan Ashley, as I explore the profound and often overlooked theme of enduring suffering while maintaining faith. In this heartfelt solo episode of In Totality, I share my concerns about the American Christian focus on prosperity and self-gain, frequently overshadowing the true essence of our relationship with God. Inspired by a powerful scene from "Freud's Last Session," which features a fictional dialogue between CS Lewis and Sigmund Freud, I reflect on how we can navigate hardships without losing our faith.
We dive into the profound scriptural teachings from Romans 5:3-5 and Isaiah 55:11, exploring how suffering can cultivate endurance, character, and hope. By focusing on God’s unchanging nature and eternal promises, we find strength to endure our trials, trusting that all things work for our good and His glory. You'll discover that despite hardships, God’s presence remains constant, providing us with the love and encouragement we need.
