In the beginning of Jesus' message to the church in Smyrna he says this:

““I know about your suffering and your poverty—but you are rich! ”

This episode is for those walking through pain, confusion, or silent battles. We explore how Christ’s presence in suffering is not distant comfort — but defiant hope, rooted in His resurrection and coming victory.

In this conversation we reflect on:

• Jesus as the First and the Last — sovereign over history and your story

• Why suffering is not evidence of God’s absence

• The promise of the Crown of Life — worth more than anything we could lose

• How this ancient letter is a living word to our moment right now

If you’re hurting — this is for you. If you’re seeking — you are not forgotten.
