When tragedy strikes, like it did at a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, many of us are left wondering, “Why?” As Pastor Mike explains, instead of focusing on the “why,” we should focus on the “who.”

To be grateful for the hard times in your life is difficult. Pastor Mike asks: Do you think it’s possible that you could only get to certain places spiritually if you had first passed through the difficulties of pain, suffering, and hardship? The apostle Paul, a guy who was incredibly grateful and went through an incredible amount of suffering, is going to help us thank God even when we hurt.
