Suffering is an unavoidable reality of life that everyone will encounter to some degree at one time or another. Our instincts are to avoid, defer, or escape suffering whenever possible. But what if suffering is a pathway to something better in our lives? What if suffering is the necessary soil from which new life springs forth? Jesus never promised us that life would be easy and free of suffering. That said, He also promised that He would use it for a greater purpose in us. During this series you'll find encouragement and hope during seasons of suffering and learn how to approach and even appreciate the pain we all experience.
