Struggling Well

Jimmy and Suzi discuss their worst Christmas gifts and then look at the life of Jesus to discuss expectations, trust, and when God’s ways make no sense.

How do we thrive in a culture that’s opposed to our faith yet remain rock-solid in our devotion to Christ?

Does Scripture teach that we can “gang up” on God and make Him do things for us? Or, should we aim to pray according to His will? In all of our wrestling with prayer, we know one thing with certainty: He hears us.

When life and ministry is hard, we can lean our face into God and what we will find is His infinite grace—even in the wilderness.

We are called to give thanks always and for everything but how do you do that in the midst of difficult family gatherings, pain, and suffering?

We think that if we perform well in our lives that we should be healthy, wealthy, and wise. But that’s not the reality. So, why does the struggle come? That’s an honest question but is there a better question to ask?

We have a deep desire to control life. Yet, the Lord calls us to not lean on our own understanding but to trust Him. Why is it so hard to trust God?

We typically don’t like to struggle so the idea of “struggling well” sounds like an oxymoron. To struggle well though requires being honest about the difficulties of life while fighting to find your true source of hope in Christ.
