In This Episode of Notes from Nineveh, we explore Paul’s words in Acts 14:22, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God,” and why spiritual maturity is formed through pressure, not preserved by escape. Scripture shows that endurance, not avoidance, shapes resilient faith. We consider how suffering, struggle, and perseverance become instruments of growth, forming believers who are strengthened, grounded, and deeply rooted in Christ.
