Listen "James: A Faith that Works (Week 1: Trials Vs. Joy)"
Episode Synopsis
Finding joy in trials is a central message from the Book of James. Written by Jesus' half-brother who transformed from skeptic to believer, James teaches that trials aren't obstacles but opportunities for spiritual growth. He encourages believers to ask God for wisdom during difficult times, but warns against doubting when we pray. Whether rich or poor, all Christians face trials and must find their identity in Christ rather than worldly circumstances. True faith manifests in controlled speech, compassion for the vulnerable, and personal holiness. By engaging with God's Word—not just hearing but doing—we can develop perseverance that leads to spiritual maturity.
