Episode Summary:
In this episode, we are looking at trials in the life of the believer. Trials are tough, but they have a purpose—they help us grow and make our faith stronger, kind of like how metal gets refined with heat and pressure. They remind us that life isn’t just about staying comfortable or chasing success. When we trust God through hard times, we start to see how He’s working in us, building endurance and showing us His faithfulness in ways we might not have noticed before.
Scripture:
James 1:2-4
"Count it all joy, m brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
