About this episode
Jared Darby discusses how suffering shapes us and leads us to hope through Romans 8:18–27.
Bible Teacher Jared Darby leads us through Romans 8:18–27, exploring the idea that our suffering isn’t meaningless; it’s shaping us and pointing us toward a coming glory. He reminds us that pain isn’t punishment but preparation, that hope is formed in the waiting, and that even when we don’t have the words, the Spirit meets us right in our weakness. Instead of trying to control the outcome or rush past the pain, we’re invited to surrender it to God, trusting that He is present, at work, and anchoring us in a hope that’s still unfolding.
