We are..."persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed."
(2 Corinthians 4:9)
Suffering is so hard. Unfortunately, it's also inevitable—we’re either walking through it, coming out of it, or about to face it again. While pain was never a part of the original plan, it's the current reality we face in the "now and not yet."
What are you facing right now? Whatever it is, we can all agree on one thing - suffering is brutal. But what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong?
In this episode, Kate asks this question as she unpacks 2 Corinthians 4:9. Her goal is to show how, although painful, affliction, perplexion, persecution, and being struck down are things we will never face alone. Yes, we will all be affected, but there are two dynamite sticks of truth that we all need to hear. This episode may not go the direction you expect, which means it might be exactly what you need to hear.
No matter what you’re facing, God’s promises stand. This episode will challenge you, comfort you, and remind you of the unshakable hope that’s yours in Christ. Don’t suffer alone—press play and be strengthened today.
