Redemptive Suffering (Part 1)

JAKE KHYM & BOB SCHUCHTS
About this episode

This week, Jake and Bob dive deep into the concept of redemptive suffering. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, processing a medical diagnosis, or struggling to love your neighbor, we all experience suffering in many forms throughout our lives. Jake and Bob discuss how these sufferings allow us to see clearly into our hearts and notice the compassionate ways God is working to unite us more closely to Him. They also explore the nature of suffering as an experience of evil, the healing power of suffering, and share personal stories of how suffering redeemed their lives. 

 

Key Points:

  • Suffering is the experience of evil
  • Redemptive suffering often involves facing deeper issues than we initially recognize
  • Our understanding of God is often revealed in our response to suffering
  • Community and communion with others are essential during times of suffering
  • Surrendering to God in suffering leads to healing
