In week six of Practicing the Way, Pastor Paul Watson examines the role of pain and suffering in spiritual formation. We often handle pain by denial, detachment, or unhealthy coping mechanisms, but Jesus calls us to a different way. Through John 16, Romans 8, and James 1, we learn that pain is an opportunity to trust God, seek healing, and care for others. When we surrender our pain to Christ, He transforms our suffering into spiritual growth, shaping us into more compassionate and faithful disciples.
