If the trials of life could only exist by popular demand, we would have voted them away long ago. People, by and large, hate suffering of any kind. Here in the Western world, we have made it our aim to mitigate against any form of it by a multitude of distractions and experiences. There is even a theology that seeks to say God never wants us to suffer—ever. Let's look at five reasons why we hate (and love) trials, and consider how they can be used to make us better people.

What’s the secret to staying sane around difficult people? Pastor Skip shows how humility and selflessness can heal relationships and reflect Christ’s love.

How can you stand firm when the world pressures you to compromise? Pastor Skip shares why bowing before God gives you strength to stand before anyone.

Does your life reflect the gospel you proclaim? Pastor Skip challenges you to live in a way that matches your message and honors Christ.

What makes life worth living? Pastor Skip explains why true joy is found not in escaping this world—but in helping others grow closer to Jesus.
