The Blessing Of Suffering?

Suffering is a reality that none of us can escape throughout life. It can be a source of pain and frustration, but suffering can also be an opportunity for growth and blessing. We believe in the power of embracing our challenges in life with Jesus - by sharing our burdens so that we can experience His peace and hope in the midst of hard times. By connecting with Jesus through suffering, our hardships become real opportunities to draw near to Him and learn how He is transforming our lives, even through the toughest times. We invite you to explore these ideas with us during this episode as we encourage each other to seek out the blessings that come from navigating life’s struggles with Jesus leading the way.

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that His life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you." —2 Corinthians 4:7-12
