Episode Synopsis

No matter how much we wish it wasn't so, life is full of both high's and low's. In the midst of our lows, it's natural to start questioning things and for our faith to grow weary. We can take solace in knowing that Christ, myself, experienced many of the same feelings we do and yet he was fully aware of the glory he would experience. It's important to recognize the diversity of life experiences because that is the world as those without Christ see it. When we try living as fully insulated Christians, acting like everything is awesome and nothing bad ever happens, we can alienate those just beginning their life with Christ. We can accidentally cause them to ask "what's wrong with me that I'm not always happy?" For their sake and our own, we have to be realistic about the human experience and see that our hope and faith is founded on something bigger than our circumstances.
