Episode Synopsis

Why does the Bible put such stress on the importance of our personal trials and adversities? I suggest it is because — cheerfully responded to — they lay the foundation of what makes us increasingly useful to God. When we respond well to them they help us devalue transitory blessings and value the enduring realities of life such as loyalty, humility, compassion, kindness, gentleness.
This world with its desires is passing away, but what we gain through every single adversity faced with good cheer will never pass away.
