Responding to Trials With Joy | EP. 150
“How I respond to trials determines whether I will strengthen my faith or kill my faith.” // Garret Barbush
On EP. 150 we continue the conversation around standing firm in the middle of life’s trials. In James 1:2, James is challenging us to “consider it pure joy” when we face trials of many kinds. There are ultimately two ways to respond when life gets hard. We can respond with joy and anticipation, as James writes, or we can respond with fear and anxiety. How you respond to trials determines whether you will strengthen your faith or kill your faith.
