Episode 345 - Suffering and the Gospel with Paul David Tripp

What does the gospel have for us in our suffering? How do we apply theological truths in our pain?Author and Bible teacher Paul David Tripp had a deep understanding of theology, especially when it came to pain and suffering. It wasn't until he walked through a season of physical suffering and chronic fatigue that those understandings he had in his mind became embedded into his heart. Through the difficulties and challenges of a medical condition that forever changed his capacity and revealed his limitations, Paul learned how the hope of the gospel can meet us in even the most painful days. His journey through that season and the lessons God taught him along the way are chronicled in his book Suffering: Gospel Hope When Life Doesn't Make Sense. In this conversation, Eric sits with Paul to discuss how suffering can lead to a deeper trust in Christ, the role prayer plays in our pain, and how God will bring a new level of understanding of theological truths when we are hurting. If you've found yourself wondering how the gospel applies to your pain, this episode will show you that the good news of Christ is for you in whatever you are facing.   Website: https://www.paultripp.com/about Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paultrippquotes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pdtripp Book: Suffering: Gospel Hope When Life Doesn't Make Sense https://a.co/d/0H5LbGC Do you need a reminder that in your story nothing is wasted?
