"This isn't just a general statement about God working out good and redeeming all things (which he is doing)...Our verse is very specific. In your trials, in your hardship, in your pain, you can know that in all things—even those things—that God is working them for good because you love him and you've been called according to his purpose." 

— Natalie Abbott

Today's episode: Natalie Abbott walks us through Romans 8:28 which says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." She takes us through the verse, phrase by phrase, helping us understand the full meaning of this beautiful promise for us, even in our suffering and pain. She roots her teaching in the surrounding context and the whole of Scripture, helping us see the full truth encapsulated in this summary statement of God's good plan for his people.
