In this first video episode of Worthy Pursuit, Amy dives into James 1 to talk about what it really means to have a faith that endures.

When life gets hard, it's easy to ask "Why me?"—but James reminds us that our trials aren't wasted. They're opportunities for God to grow something lasting inside of us.

In this episode, Amy talks about:

• 🌿 Seeing trials through a different lens — not as punishment, but as preparation.

• 💡 How endurance deepens spiritual maturity and reveals genuine faith.

• ✨ The importance of trusting God in the waiting, not just after the outcome.

• 📖 What James means by "count it all joy" — and how that perspective changes everything.

• 💭 A personal reflection on finding joy in unexpected seasons.

You'll walk away encouraged to stay steadfast when life feels uncertain — remembering that the same God who allows your testing also provides the strength to endure it.

Key Scripture:

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." — James 1:2–3

Reflection Prompt:

What's one challenge you're facing right now where God might be developing your endurance? Write a short prayer asking Him to help you stay faithful through it.

Closing Thought:

Enduring faith isn't perfect faith — it's persistent faith. Keep trusting that God is producing something beautiful through your perseverance.
