In this powerful episode of the Level Up Podcast, Pastor Souzy and Pastor AJ Valdez dive deep into one of the hardest yet most necessary topics in the Christian life: suffering. Why does God allow us to suffer? How can we find joy in trials? And what does it mean when Scripture says that perseverance produces maturity? From real-life stories of loss and hardship to lessons learned through gaming analogies (yes, even Mythic+ dungeons), this conversation will encourage you to embrace suffering as a tool God uses to strengthen your faith.

Whether you’re walking through tragedy, facing challenges, or just wrestling with why life isn’t easy, this episode reminds us that suffering isn’t meaningless—it makes you strong in Christ.
