In this episode, I talk about the Refiner’s fire and how God uses trials and testing to shape us into who He’s called us to be. Anchored in Malachi 3:3, we look at passages from Nehemiah, Job, James, Romans, Philippians, and 1 Peter to see that the fire is never wasted - it is God’s way of purifying, strengthening, and conforming us to the image of Christ.
I also share personally about walking through a refining season right now and the reminder that encourages me daily: God is more committed to our process than we are. He doesn’t abandon us in the fire - He sits as the Refiner, ensuring we are not consumed but purified. Even in the pressure, He is faithful, and His goal is always our growth and His glory.
