As we journey through the book of Acts, we see the reality of trials and tribulations in the life of Paul, and we are reminded that hardship is not unique to us. In this weeks episode Micah reminds us that everyone faces tough times, but as believers, we are called to walk through them differently. James encourages us to consider it pure joy when we face trials, not because we celebrate suffering, but because trials test our faith and produce perseverance. This perseverance matures us, making us complete and lacking nothing.
