When Sam starts suffering from foot pain. Kristen pops over, with some strawberries, to give him some encouragement. Pastor Mike decides to tag along as well, but the bump on his head slows him up a bit (maybe that's why he can't remember past episodes). After enjoying the large strawberries, Kristen attempts to use some wonderful metaphors to help explain how Sam can learn from this suffering. However, Pastor Mike suggests they look through God's Word and see what it says about suffering. In their discussions they see how to suffer rightly, that Jesus suffered as well and can relate to us, that suffering produces endurance, and they look at how to apply these lessons when helping other people who are suffering.
