“In the second half of John 10:10, Jesus Christ said that he came so that we might have life more abundantly. He did not say we would have a life free from challenges or suffering. It is available to have a life of abundance and victory in spite of temporary hardship or loss. God is there to help us and heal us even if we do not recognize it at the time.”

I Corinthians 15:57 says, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” As believers, we always believe for and expect the best. But what about those times in life when things don’t go the way we expect them to? How do we find victory in hardship or loss? In this episode, Rev. Mel Privette shares his quest to find peace in the midst of challenges and afflictions. When we experience hardship and loss—and all of us will—we can apply the principles Mel shares in this article from the July/August 2026 issue of The Way Magazine: “Finding Victory in Hardship or Loss.”
