Experiencing Victory through Suffering
One thing is certain in this life: We will all experience hardship and pain. But with God as our caring Father, we can also be certain that our pain presents opportunities to shape us for a glory beyond imagination. Ed Stetzer talks with Clay Jones about his book, How Does God Use Suffering for Our Good? and how when we learn why God allows suffering, our pain is given meaning, and that can help us live with purpose and hope even as we suffer today on Ed Stetzer Live.
