About this episode
This sermon explores enduring unjust suffering through faith that relies on presence rather than resolution.
What does faith look like when life cannot be explained or resolved? In this sermon from 1 Peter, we encounter a difficult call to endure suffering that is not deserved. Not all suffering is the same, and not all of it can be fixed. Some of it must simply be carried. This message is a companion for those who have learned to expect only brief grace, who have not been able to reconcile with life, but find they must keep living anyway. It speaks to the quiet, daily work of continuing forward. Drawing on the witness of those who have endured unjust suffering, this sermon explores a faith that does not rely on resolution, but on presence. A faith that moves forward step by step, trusting that Christ walks in solidarity with those who suffer. This is not easy faith. It is a steady one. A faith that keeps going, even when the path is unclear. Part of the Eccentrics: Keeping It Real After Easter series.
