Episode Synopsis

This week on Made For Mondays, we continue our Open Invitation series with a powerful message from 1 Thessalonians 3 — Standing Firm in the Storm.Joe, Adrienne, Tyler and Lauren talk about what it looks like to hold onto faith when life gets hard, exploring Paul’s encouragement to the Thessalonians to stay strong even in the face of opposition. From tests and losses to the everyday pressures that try to shake our trust, this conversation digs into how God uses difficulty to build endurance and deepen our dependence on Him.Together, we unpack the difference between feeling stronger and feeling safer, the reality of spiritual opposition, and how our problems can become platforms that point others toward Jesus. Whether you’re in the middle of a storm or walking with someone who is, this episode reminds us that God’s faithfulness never wavers.💡 Big Idea: Stand firm in your faith—your storm isn’t the end of your story.📖 Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 3 | Ephesians 6:10–13 | James 1:2–4 | Romans 8:28–39🗞 Stay Informed: https://thefridayupdate.org☕ Get News & Scripture: https://thepourover.org🛑 Need Rest?
