Enduring Pain through Faith and Fellowship with Jesus

The podcast explores how the Apostle Paul endured intense suffering without feeling completely defeated. Paul emphasizes that his endurance was sustained by the miraculous presence of the Lord Jesus who stood by him, providing the strength to persevere. He believed that his faith was preserved by God's sovereignty over his suffering, and that suffering was integral to the Christian journey. Paul's theology of suffering centered on the belief that no pain experienced is wasted, as it produces a greater weight of glory.
