Most people think trials are obstacles. James says they’re the assignment. In this episode, we continue our deep walk through the book of James, unpacking verses 2–4 with covenant theology, exile identity, and biblical fire. This is not self-help joy. This is defiant, covenantal joy—a war cry in the middle of the furnace. Trials don’t weaken your faith. They forge it. The fire is not failure. It’s formation. If you are a slave of Christ in exile, your suffering is not random. It is royal. And it will not end until you are perfect, complete, and lacking nothing.
