Rejoicing in Persecution for the Sake of Christ with Dr. Sam Storms and Peter Worrall

Today, on Karl and Crew, we discussed how, as Christ followers, there will be a time when we have to stand in the fire. As believers, there is no promise of a perfect life; we will endure hard times, but we are called to take joy in the midst of those trials. Dr. Sam Storms joined us to discuss embracing and rejoicing in suffering and persecution as a Christian. Dr. Storms is the founder and president of Enjoying God Ministries and serves on the Council of the Gospel Coalition. He is also the Executive Director of the Convergence Church Network. He has also authored several books, including “Understanding Spiritual Warfare: A Comprehensive Guide.” Then we had Peter Worrall join us to discuss persecution as a Christian and how he teaches this to his students. Peter is an Associate Professor of Educational Ministries at the Moody Bible Institute. He also wrote the book, “20 Things We’d Tell Our Twentysomething Selves.” We also turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners two questions: “What challenge in your life has God used to help you grow?” and “When have you experienced gospel opposition and how did God help you through it?” You can listen to the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
