What if the way forward isn’t avoiding suffering, but enduring it through Christ? In this episode, Mark addresses the mindset many of us carry: the desire to avoid suffering and seek self-help. He contrasts that with the gospel’s call to perseverance: grit that isn’t grounded in willpower, but in Christ himself. Mark challenges listeners to embrace trials as part of discipleship and to find strength not in avoiding hardship, but in enduring it by faith.
