God Won't Burn You, But He Will Refine Y...

Bought + Beloved with Kirby Kelly

About this episode

We will eventually have to walk through the fire, the trials, the suffering, the season of loss or barrenness, and it's so easy from our limited perspective and point of view to believe God is the one burning us. But as we will discuss today, God will not burn His people. He will repurpose the fire and the flames to refine us, to become more resilient, and to be redeemed out of His for His glory! I pray this encourages you today.
