The Truth About Hardships

Vanessa P. Brown
About this episode

I have spent many days since I accepted Christ as my savior asking God, "Why am I having such a hard time?" And "What am I doing wrong?" Why have I asked these questions? For the longest time, I've only heard men and women of God telling me what my life should look like, and I feel as if God was on my side. There has not been a lot of teaching on what to do when hardships come. This episode discusses the truth about hardship based on life and experiences of the Apostle Paul. I Corinthians 1:8-11 “We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships, we suffered in the province of Asia, we were under great pressure far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. The Apostle Paul uses his life to teach the believers at the Church of Corinth that there is no shame in having and enduring hardships because it brings us to the glory of God.
