Send us a textJoy in the Trial — James 1:2-4 | Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional PodcastScripture Reference: James 1:2–4 (NIV) — “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”Welcome to Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast — your daily 15-minute source of biblical strength and spiritual clarity. In today's powerful episode, Reverend Ben Cooper brings encouragement and perspective for those walking through life's toughest seasons.What do you do when you're hit from every side — financially, emotionally, relationally, or spiritually? James 1:2–4 offers a radical viewpoint: consider it pure joy. Not because suffering is pleasant, but because God uses every difficulty as a tool for our spiritual maturity.Reverend Ben takes us beyond surface-level positivity into the deeper truth of how trials shape us into who God is calling us to be. Drawing parallels to Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, he reminds us that even Christ wrestled under the weight of suffering — sweating blood and asking for the cup to pass. Yet through His surrender came the greatest victory.In this devotional, you'll be guided through:Why trials are not punishments, but platforms for growthHow spiritual maturity is forged in discomfortThe role of perseverance in your Christian journeyReal hope when you're at the end of yourselfBen also leads listeners in a heartfelt moment of prayer, lifting those burdened by health struggles, financial instability, emotional trauma, and relationship breakdowns. Through Scripture and intercession, this episode becomes more than a message — it's a moment of breakthrough.This message is for the weary heart, the questioning soul, and the one who's about to give up. Don't miss this reminder: you are being refined, not ruined. God's plan through your pain is to make you complete, not lacking anything.

Too many agency owners are building alone. But small doesn't mean solo and solo isn't sustainable.Small but mighty agencies weren't built to go it alone.

And while it might feel efficient, it's actually the slowest and hardest way to grow.In this episode, I unpack why isolation is your real bottleneck and why Agency Together was built to change that.You'll learn:Why doing it alone is stalling your agency's growthHow strategic collaboration builds visibility, trust, and momentumWhy competition is outdated and what to do insteadHow Agency Together curates relationships that fuel sustainable growthWhat to expect at our free Strategic Partnership Mixer
