Modeling Faith Through Suffering & Loss – Discipleship for Dads

About this episode

The episode discusses how fathers model faith through experiences of suffering and loss, emphasizing the lessons learned and the importance of patience and response to adversity.

The dads discuss fiery trials, and what has God taught them through these. They talk about long-term grinding down vs sudden crushing…the value of being forced to wait on the promises of God…how responding to bad news without complaint powerfully proves the faith to your kids…and the great balm of the psalms for the pain of asking, “Is God being good to me right now?” Download the episode MP3 here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2520780/episodes/19299033-modeling-faith-through-suffering-loss-disc...
