Episode description

Have you ever wondered "Why does God allow bad things happen? Or "Why does God allow suffering?" If you have, this video might help.

In this video, I delve into the role of suffering in the life of a true Christian and believer. Drawing from scriptures such as 2 Timothy 3:12, Matthew 10:22, and John 15:20-21, I explain how suffering and persecution are integral parts of a Christian's journey. I discuss how these challenging experiences can strengthen your relationship with God, enhance your character, and ultimately bring you closer to the Lord. If you’ve ever wondered 'why does God let bad things happen' or 'why does God allow suffering,' this video will provide a comforting and encouraging perspective. Join me as I share insights on how to embrace and grow from the trials we face as believers.
