Episode notes
From Everest Peak to Faith
- Hugh Stevenson shared a powerful personal story about climbing his Mount Everest in life but realizing the view was overrated without God.
- Despite material success, his spiritual and relational life suffered, leading him to find hope and redemption through faith.
Rethinking Suffering Questions
- The key question in suffering is not "why" but "who" is causing it; God permits but does not cause suffering.
- Hope comes from knowing God's goodness and the promise of seeing the Redeemer after death.
Anchor Faith in God's Promises
- Cling to God's promises of hope, joy, peace, and rest during suffering for sustenance.
- Use scripture like Jeremiah 29:11, John 15:10-11, Philippians 4:6-7, and Matthew 11:28-30 to anchor faith.
