How might the Lord use tests in our lives? Rev. Dr. Reed Lessing, author of Overcoming Life’s Sorrows: Learning from Jeremiah, joins Andy and Sarah for Part 4 of our series on Overcoming Life's Sorrows to talk about what it means for God to test us, how God's Word describes the state of our hearts, the difference between Biblical usage of "heart" and how we use it today, how tests were a part of Jeremiah's life, and how God provides for us through the tests.

Rev. Dr. Reed Lessing is Professor of Theology & Ministry, Director of the Pre-Seminary Program, and Director of The Center for Biblical Studies at Concordia University St. Paul, and author of Overcoming Life’s Sorrows: Learning from Jeremiah available from Concordia Publishing House.
