This episode delves into the transformative power of suffering, exploring biblical perspectives from 1 Peter, James, and 2 Corinthians. Joël and Rick discuss how suffering builds resilience and prepares us for the responsibilities and rewards of reigning with Christ in eternity, challenging the common misconception of a passive afterlife. They explore the concept of “filling up what is lacking” in Christ’s afflictions, and unpack the idea that heaven involves active participation and service rather than passive bliss.
