About this episode

Jon Moffitt discusses how to find strength in faith during times of suffering and despair.

What do you do when you cannot even get out of bed, let alone “stand firm” in your faith? Jon Moffitt explores what Scripture really means when Peter and Paul call believers to stand firm in seasons of suffering and despair. This conversation challenges the idea that faith is about trying harder or pulling yourself together. Instead, you will see how the gospel gives weary Christians something solid to stand on outside of themselves. If you feel crushed by fear, exhaustion, or hopelessness, this episode offers comfort rooted in Christ and His promises.
