About this episode

Pastor Bobby Chandler discusses how to persevere in faith despite facing opposition and challenges.

What do you do when you're tired of fighting?You can be following God, doing exactly what He's called you to do, and still face opposition. In Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas experience both rejection and applause. People turn against them, crowds change their opinions, and Paul is eventually stoned and left for dead.But he gets back up.In Learning the Hard Way, Pastor Bobby Chandler teaches how difficult seasons reveal dangerous patterns, expose where we're getting our identity, and teach us to keep going when we feel knocked down.You can't control who talks about you. You can't control who praises you or who turns against you. But you can decide that no matter what happens, you're going to keep trusting God.You may get knocked down—but you're not destroyed.Don't stop the mission.The ending strongly supports that promise: Paul writes that believers can be pressed, perplexed, hunted and knocked down without being destroyed, followed by “That is why we never give up.”GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?
