The Truth About Trials


Listen Later

Few things test our faith like seasons we didn’t choose. Trials have a way of showing up unannounced—through loss, pressure, uncertainty, or waiting longer than we expected. In those moments, joy often feels out of reach, and endurance can feel thin.

In James 1:2–12, we’re invited to see trials differently—not as interruptions to faith, but as places where God is actively at work. How is perseverance is formed, why does wisdom matter in hardship, and how does God shape mature faith through real-life testing. Consider how believers can remain grounded, hopeful, and steady when circumstances are anything but easy.

Come discover how God uses trials to strengthen faith—and learn how to endure with faith when life presses hard.
