Have you ever been told to “count it all joy” in the middle of a difficult season and thought, "How am I supposed to do that?”
In this episode, Yana and Elizabeth talk honestly about what perseverance looks like when life is hard. They explore what Scripture says about suffering, share some of their own experiences, and discuss why the voices you listen to and the people you walk with matter more than you may realize.
If you're finding it difficult to trust God in the middle of disappointment, grief, or unanswered questions, this conversation is for you. We hope it encourages you to keep holding on to Christ and reminds you that God is at work, even in seasons you wouldn't rather not be walking through.
Questions Covered In This Episode:
James 1:2-4, Romans 3:3-5, Galatians 6:9
