In this episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Kevin unpacks one of the most powerful promises in Scripture: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

We explore:

  • Why Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” matters for us today
  • How God’s grace sustains us through life’s hardest seasons
  • The shift from “How do I get out of this?” to “What do I get out of this?”
  • Why hardships can actually deepen our faith
  • Comment below: How has God’s grace sustained you?
