About this episode

Pastor Richard encourages listeners to trust in God amidst their suffering, emphasizing that their pain can lead to spiritual growth.

Consider for a moment that the worst suffering and pain that you're experiencing right now might be the best thing for you spiritually. You might not be able to see where your individual stories lead. But God does! Your pain is real! Your concerns are valid! But your God is bigger than all of them! Today, Pastor Richard will encourage you to hold on and trust that God works all things (even the nasty ones!) together for the good of those who love Him!
