This week on The Follow Up, we explore the Uniqueness of Christian Suffering through Romans 8:21–28. Pastor Arlen shares insights from his first full sermon at Spring Lake Church, and together we reflect on the purpose of suffering, the longing of creation, and how biblical hope differs from wishful thinking.

We talk about:

• Why our present suffering is temporary compared to eternal glory
• What it means that creation itself longs for redemption
• How we find strength in the Holy Spirit during seasons of waiting
• Why Christian hope is not a wish, but a confident direction

Whether you’re in a tough season or seeking a deeper understanding of God's promises, this episode offers encouragement and truth grounded in Scripture.
