Episode notes

When we face adversity, we may complain and become bitter. Ask questions like, why does this have to happen to me? Why do I have to suffer this now? What have I done to deserve this? Such questions can overtake our vision, absorb our energy, and deprive us of the experiences the Lord wants us to receive. Rather than responding in this way, if there's anybody listening who's like, it's so much easier said than done, just say, hey, change your questions. You'll be fine.

Dr. Goodman examines Paul’s missionary struggles, journeys, and the power we obtain through challenges when relying on the Lord.
