In this episode of Calling City Life, Richard, Ian, Brodie, and Jacq conclude their series on the Holy Spirit by exploring the difficult reality of suffering through the lens of Romans 8. The team unpacks the "three groans" of creation, the believer, and the Spirit, delving into deep theological questions about whether God experiences pain while addressing practical challenges like mental health and the pressure Christians often feel to "suffer well." Ultimately, this conversation offers a compassionate reminder that we do not groan alone—the Spirit intercedes for us in our weakness, and our present struggles are held within the sure hope of future glory.
