The Role of Miracles and Suffering in Spiritual Formation
The podcast delves into the significance of miracles and suffering in shaping spiritual growth. It emphasizes that both serve as crucial elements in molding human experience and influencing how individuals live until encountering Jesus. Miracles are viewed as invitations to deeper discipleship, fostering trust and love. However, they can lead to spiritual deformation if pursued for personal gratification. Conversely, suffering, stemming from the fall, can be repurposed by God to bring about transformation and contribute to the redemption of creation.
