Description
From Today’s Episode
In today’s episode, we talk about why God doesn’t always remove the pressure.
When life feels like it's pressing down on you from every direction, it's easy to wonder if God has forgotten you. In this episode, Jen opens up 2 Corinthians 4 to remind us that being hard pressed isn't a sign of abandonment — it's an invitation to notice what God is already doing in the middle of it. A grounding episode for anyone craving Christian encouragement on the hard days.
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
Verse
2 Corinthians 4:6-9
"For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed."
Question
God, what’s something that I haven’t seen yet?
