THE GRIZ PODCAST

Life’s not fair. And we must stop expecting it to be fair because that’s not reality. That’s actually a distorted view of the human condition. The sooner we accept this reality (that life’s not fair), the better off we’ll be in overcoming pain, suffering, opposition, and disappointment. Many of us are under the illusion that we’re in control of so many things in life, but the truth is … we have little to no control over a large portion of what happens to us. The only thing we truly have control over is our response to what happens to us!

Jason is learning to embrace the suck, trust God through it, and make the most of it. There's a mysterious inner peace that can show up when you do those three things that will allow you to ride the waves of your pain and suffering!

In this episode, Jason shares what he is learning about walking with God in the GRIND of suffering. Suffering is everywhere in our fallen world and it's unavoidable. At some point in life, in some sort of way, you're going to suffer greatly. No one gets a free pass on suffering in this life. Most people want to try to prevent it or avoid it or escape it, but God wants us to learn how to walk with Him through it!
