With The Perrys

When Christianity Gets Hard

Listen Later

Sometimes coming to Christian faith means that life gets harder and we don’t like that. We will all find ourselves in moments or seasons of discouragement, but we can wrestle through it with reverence. The main way to fight discouragement is by having a knowledge of God’s Word that helps you lean into Christ, and in this week’s episode, the Perrys walk through a number of passages to help us do just that. 

Scripture references:

  • Psalm 88
  • John 6:60-68
  • Genesis 21:6
  • Luke 1:34
