This week, we’ve been reframing our problems by looking at the hidden upsides they tend to have. The final up-side is God can use problems in our lives to produce a Christ-like reflection in us. 

There really is a huge upside to our problems. Problems help us discover direction, do a personal inspection, give us needed correction, give long-term protection, and/or produce in us a Christ-like reflection. No matter what problems you're facing in your life right now, God can use those problems for good in your life; there is an upside.

Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
