In this powerful conclusion to our "Finding God in the Shadows" series, Ben Martin explores the Apostle Paul's mysterious "thorn in the flesh" and discovers a revolutionary third way of living with our struggles.

Rather than just hoping for healing or resigning ourselves to defeat, Paul shows us how God's grace can be sufficient even when our thorns remain. Through 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, we learn that our weaknesses aren't obstacles to God's work—they're actually the very place where His power is perfected.

Ben vulnerably shares his own ongoing battle with shyness and imposter syndrome, demonstrating how God uses our shadows not as excuses, but as channels for His extraordinary grace. This isn't about becoming superheroes of faith—it's about discovering that ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they rely on God's strength rather than their own.

Whether you're battling physical illness, mental health struggles, spiritual opposition, or simply the limitations of your own temperament, this message offers hope: God's grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in weakness.

Listen now and discover the third way that could transform how you view your own thorns.
