How to Suffer Better | Turn Your Sufferi...

CROSSROADS CHURCH
About this episode

We have good news and bad news. Bad news: suffering exists. The good? God can actually use that suffering to make you better. That thing that is beating you down and makes you want to give up can be the very thing God uses to shape you into who He wants you to be.

This week, we go on location with Kyle Ranson in the ancient city of Philippi to learn Paul's story of suffering and how God used it to shape not just Paul, but all of world history. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.
