    23 - SUFFERING AND THE IMPORTANT THINGS

    Well, it’s been quite the journey. You may have listened to these episodes one after the other, but it took Wade and I almost three years to record and post them all. We have come to the end of the suffering podcast journey, at least for now. There is certainly more that could be said about suffering. But at least for the time being, Wade and I feel that we have said all that WE have to say about it. Or, to put it another way, I think we have covered the things about suffering that we feel are not adequately covered elsewhere. We have given our somewhat unique contribution. We will continue to monitor the channel however, and if you want to use the chat tool, we can have conversations that way. If someone brings up an important subject that we feel we could speak to helpfully, we might record another episode or two. In the meantime, may the grace and peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all! This is a public episode.

    22 - REVIVAL AND SUFFERING

    This is our second-to-last episode. We feel that we have offered most of the important, unique thoughts on suffering in faith that we have at this point in time. However, there ARE two episodes left. This one is about the connection between suffering and revival. When I think of revival, I mean genuine, real-life Christian discipleship manifesting in significant numbers of people in the same general region during the same general time period. It may or may not include large numbers gathering together in one place. I think the decisions normal Christians make in their everyday lives are far more indicative of revival than big events in big stadiums. While many people are eager for revival, my strong conviction is that true widespread revival will not take place without widespread suffering. Wade and I talk this over in this episode. Thank you for listening! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit hopefulsuffering.substack.com

    21 - FILLING UP WHAT IS LACKING IN CHRIST'S SUFFERING?

    In Colossians 1:24, Paul says he is “filling up what is lacking” in the afflictions of Christ. What does this mean? How could it be? And, does this difficult verse actually have comfort for those who are suffering today? Listen to this episode to hear our thoughts on these subjects, and more. This is a public episode.

    20 - AN UNEXPECTED GRACE

    At a time when I was very low, and really unable to change anything about my circumstances or my attitude, the Lord gave me an unexpected experience of joy. I have hesitated to share this episode, because it was so unique. Even so, as I’ve shared the story elsewhere, people have reported to me that it was an encouragement to them. Because of that, I share it now, as an encouragement to all who hear it. This is a public episode.

    19 - A ROUNTABLE ABOUT SUFFERING AND MARRIAGE (Part III)

    We invited my wife Kari, along with Ken Haynes and his wife Kelly, to talk with us about how suffering affects the spouses of the “primary sufferer,” and how it affects marriages generally. This is the third of the three conversations we had when we were together. This is a public episode.

    17 - A ROUNTABLE ABOUT SUFFERING AND MARRIAGE

    You may have noticed by parts of our conversation that I have been running behind on posting episodes. It was some time ago now that we invited my wife Kari, along with Ken Haynes and his wife Kelly, to talk with us about how suffering affects the spouses of the “primary sufferer,” and how it affects marriages generally. This is the first of three conversations we had when we were together. This is a public episode.

    16 - CHOOSING THE PATH OF SUFFERING

    Mostly, we don’t deliberately choose to suffer. But what if was up to us? What if suffering was God’s best will for us, but he allowed us to choose an easier path? I had an interesting experience pertaining to this lately, one that is hard to describe. I wasn’t sure if we were going to post this episode or not, but in the end, I believe there are some helpful things here that may be encouraging to others who are suffering. Rather than try to explain further, I invite you to listen to the episode! This is a public episode.
