In this episode, we explore the paradox of suffering as it intersects with God's grace. While suffering is a difficult and often painful reality of the human experience, it is also a space where God's grace can be revealed and deepened. We discuss how the "thorns" of life, though sharp and uncomfortable, can ultimately serve to refine and strengthen us in ways we never expected. Through personal stories, biblical insights, and theological reflection, we discuss how the gospel is revealed in our suffering, what faith looks like in suffering, and speak a word of encouragement to those struggling.
