The message emphasizes the inevitability of pain and suffering in life and the importance of confronting it with faith rather than avoiding it through denial, detachment, or numbing distractions. ​ Using Psalm 23 as a guide, Will Dyer highlights how King David, despite his profound grief and failures, remained faithful to God and found comfort in His presence during dark times. ​ The message encourages individuals to name their pain and grief, trust God to work through it, and allow it to transform them into fuller, more compassionate people. ​ It underscores that suffering, when entrusted to God, can lead to spiritual growth and deeper connection with Him. ​ The act of communion serves as a reminder of Christ's suffering and victory over death, offering hope that pain does not have the final word. ​
