"...we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us."~ Romans 5:3-5How are Christians supposed to respond to suffering?How do I know if I'm suffering well?How do I know whether I should avoid or accept a specific kind of suffering?In episode 71 of This Whole Life, hosts Kenna and Pat Millea are joined by their good friend, Fr. Nathan LaLiberte, to delve into the complex topic of suffering from both a faith-based and psychological perspective. They explore the idea that suffering is not just to be avoided but can be a path to personal growth, connection with God, and redemption. Fr. Nathan shares insights from his experience and studies, highlighting how pain can signal areas for growth and conversion. The conversation is grounded on the Christian ethos of finding purpose in suffering, and includes sound psychological principles like those of Alfred Adler and Viktor Frankl. They also discuss the Fruits of the Holy Spirit and the virtue of prudence as essential tools in discernment, helping listeners navigate when to accept suffering and when to seek change.

Dan Gisel, our 12 PTS Campus Pastor shared three points from the book of Acts on how to thrive in hardship.

In this power-packed episode, Mark Jewell is joined by Christine Jewell—his wife and the head of executive coaching at The Momentum Company—for a raw, timely, and perspective-shifting conversation. Sparked by a single encouraging text that resonated deeply with a CEO navigating difficult times, this episode dives into the emotional, mental, and strategic battles leaders are facing across the ag industry and beyond.Christine challenges leaders to stop white-knuckling their way through hardship and start rising with clarity, intention, and a renewed identity. If you've found yourself saying “it's just hard right now,” this episode is your wake-up call. Because thriving leaders don't fight for victory—they lead from it.Key Takeaways:

Right now, the Republican controlled Congress is speeding down a path that would raise costs for food and health care for millions of families by taking away Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. It would do so in order to help pay for massive tax cuts primarily benefiting the most well-off, including millionaires and billionaires.In this episode of Policy for the People, we speak with Oregon Senator Ron Wyden about what the budget blueprint currently being discussed in Congress means for Oregonians and the nation. We also speak with Steve Wamhoff, Federal Policy Director at the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, about his recent report titled: Federal Tax Policy: What Should It Accomplish? In it he argues that our federal government needs to raise more revenue, not less, and do so in a progressive way. In other words, we need to go in the opposite direction from the current plan in Congress.

Today we'll look at the hardships Paul encountered as he spread the message of Jesus across the Roman world. Why would Paul endure the obstacles, the persecution, the difficult travel, and repeatedly risk His life for the church?

In this episode of Talking Real Money, Don and Tom sound the alarm on a troubling trend: more people are dipping into their 401(k)s for emergencies. While hardship withdrawals are allowed under IRS rules, they come with serious penalties, taxes, and long-term setbacks. The hosts stress the importance of building an emergency fund before maxing out retirement contributions to avoid turning your future into a piggy bank. They also respond to questions about how to find fiduciary advisors and critique a high-yield income portfolio packed with risky, expensive ETFs—offering a reality check on chasing returns without understanding the risks. 0:04 Retirement talk kicks off with 401(k) praise—and a warning 2:08 Hardship withdrawals hit record levels; 5% of participants tapped accounts 3:50 Emergency fund should come before heavy 401(k) contributions 5:25 Auto-enrollment rises, but so does temptation to pull money 6:06 Weigh a 401(k) loan before a withdrawal—less damage long-term 7:47 IRS penalty exceptions outlined—some hardship cases qualify 9:35 Adulting tip: build that emergency fund, even if it's hard 10:57 Better to borrow elsewhere (even a credit card!) than touch your 401(k) 12:59 SEP IRAs great for self-employed—but require discipline to fund 14:17 Listener asks why they don't mention NAPFA more—they do! 17:25 Listener portfolio review: lots of income ETFs, lots of risk 20:33 Many holdings have high expense ratios, junk bonds, or complex strategies 22:33 Bottom line: get a professional review—and simplify the portfolio Learn more about your ad choices.

The sermon explores the idea that God's favor does not always come in the form of ease or comfort. Instead, divine favor can be challenging, requiring faith, perseverance, and obedience through trials. Drawing from biblical examples, the message emphasizes that blessings are often wrapped in difficulties, pushing believers to grow spiritually and trust God's plan. The sermon encourages listeners to embrace struggles as opportunities for transformation, understanding that God's favor sometimes requires sacrifice and endurance. Ultimately, it reassures that even in hardship, God's purpose is at work, leading to a greater reward.Join us Sunday's 8:15 | 10:00 | 11:45 Authentic Church 2416 N Center St Hickory, NC 28601 (Beside Planet Fitness) GIVING To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://authenticchurch.com/give GET CONNECTED Ready to check out Authentic Church in person?

Adversity is a normal part of life, and a normal part of the Christian life. In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally reveals what we should remember as we walk through adversity. 1 Peter 4:12 NLTGod allows adversity because it matures us. So how do we not just go through adversity, but grow through adversity? The key to overcoming adversity is remembrance.  Biblical remembrance is actively recalling and expecting God's past goodness to happen again in the future. Psalm 77:7-12 NLT is a perfect example of how remembrance defeats the discouragement of adversity.This psalmist had very real feelings. You can choose to dwell on your feelings, or you can choose to remember God's faithfulness.  What should we remember during times of adversity?1. Remember to pray.Prayer is communication with God. It's talking to Him and letting Him talk to you.Psalm 34:17-18 NLT Adversity is coming. Don't start panicking, start praying! 2. Remember to praise.Praise and worship is the pathway into God's presence.Psalm 34:1 NLT Your praise is a powerful weapon. Stop worrying, start worshipping.Psalm 57:8 NLTPraise and worship is an act of defiance against adversity. 3. Remember to be patient.Psalm 37:7a NLT Patience is a muscle you can flex, and a mature Christian works it out.  4. Remember God's perspective.Life's trials are like puzzle pieces—you don't see the full picture yet, but God does. Adopt His perspective.Psalm 30:5b NLTAdversity is fleeting, but God's faithfulness is forever. 5. Remember God's promises.Psalm 119:50If God fulfilled His promises in the past, you can be sure He'll fulfill His promises in the future. 6. Remember God's people.The Church isn't just a place to go to; it's a people to grow with.Psalm 133:1 NIV Isolation weakens; community strengthens. A single coal removed from the fire quickly dies out. Stay connected to the flame.Prov 17:17 NIVWe don't pull away from one another during hard times; we press in. 7. Remember God's purpose.Psalm 57:2 When you forget God's purpose, you forfeit His peace.Romans 8:28When life shakes you, stand on what God has said, not what you see. In the 1968 Olympics, Tanzanian runner John Stephen Akhwari was injured in a fall during the marathon. Despite dislocating his knee, injuring his shoulder, and being in excruciating pain, he refused to quit. Hours after the race ended, he limped across the finish line. When asked why he kept going, he said: "My country did not send me 5,000 miles to start the race; they sent me to finish it." God didn't bring you this far to leave you now. Adversity is part of the race, but finishing with faith is what matters.Hebrews 12:1 Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.How are you responding to adversity?

The Lord allows us to sin against each other, and for creation itself to visit evil on all of us, that some of us might repent and turn to him and each other in forgiveness for the sake of Jesus. Support the showCheck us out at ascensionlutheran.ca and intheway.org.

Pain, hardship and loss are very difficult things and we all encounter them in one way or another throughout our lives. And while these things are generally unwelcome, I have found that often times, with a lot of work and the right outlook, I can sometimes find an upside.

In this episode of Mind Shift, Aaron and Erwin McManus dive into deep and thought-provoking conversations about faith, leadership, identity, and personal transformation. They explore how shame and guilt can hold people back, emphasizing that true faith leads to grace, forgiveness, and freedom. Erwin shares personal experiences about hearing God's voice and how scripture can reshape negative thinking.The discussion begins with Aaron introducing the podcast and mentioning how their conversations often touch on culture, leadership, relationships, and even politics. Erwin recalls moments when he's received criticism from both liberals and conservatives, highlighting how communication has become more polarized. He stresses the importance of conversations like Mind Shift in helping people think more critically and communicate better.Aaron then shifts the discussion to deeper spiritual questions, starting with how to break free from shame. Erwin explains that while guilt comes from doing something wrong, shame makes people feel fundamentally unworthy. He argues that many religious systems use shame to control people, but faith in Jesus offers grace, acceptance, and freedom from that cycle. Instead of being weighed down by past mistakes, people should define themselves by what God says about them—not the opinions of others.The conversation then moves into the nature of good and evil. Aaron asks Erwin if he believes in evil, and Erwin responds with a strong “yes.” He explains that evil is real, both in human actions and in a broader spiritual sense. He shares a chilling story about a man with multiple voices inside his head who once wanted to visit their home. This moment reinforced for him that evil isn't just theoretical—it manifests in people's lives.A key theme throughout the episode is the idea that suffering and hardship are inevitable, but faith allows people to navigate them with resilience. Aaron asks how to posture oneself for miracles, and Erwin responds by emphasizing that faith itself is a space where miracles happen. He shares personal stories of miraculous moments he's witnessed throughout his life, reinforcing the idea that God is always at work, even when people don't recognize it.The conversation turns to the topic of hearing God's voice. Aaron asks how people can know when God is speaking to them. Erwin explains that God often speaks in an internal, deeply personal way, and the more someone walks in faith, the more they'll recognize His voice. He encourages listeners to trust their inner promptings and align their actions with God's character.Aaron then asks why Erwin chose to follow Jesus instead of another belief system. Erwin shares his personal journey of faith, reflecting on moments that shaped his spiritual path. He recalls a pivotal experience when he felt called to stay in a prison to share the gospel, a moment that transformed his understanding of ministry and solidified his commitment to helping others find freedom in Christ.As the episode wraps up, Erwin and Aaron reflect on their journeys and encourage listeners to take their own steps in faith. Erwin extends an invitation for people to trust in Jesus, emphasizing that faith isn't about rules or religion—it's about transformation, freedom, and stepping into a new life. The episode concludes with a prayer and a reminder that faith is a journey, one that invites people to experience the deep and powerful love of God.

Memorial of Saint Agatha, Virgin and Martyr. While many Christians know the phrase “offer it up,” Father Dave recalls how an old high school coach used to say “suck it up” in response to hardship. He reminds us that even the most extreme suffering does not keep us from Jesus. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 2-05-25

For us high-achievers, we often think of resilience as pushing through, powering on, and handling it all. But what if true resilience isn't about white-knuckling your way through hardship—but about allowing yourself to soften, heal, and bounce forward instead of just back?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, author of That Sucked, Now What?, to talk about what it really takes to move through life's hardest moments. Dr. Neeta's story is one of profound loss—losing her mother, father, and brother before she turned 19—and the journey she took to rebuild herself while navigating perfectionism, high-achiever pressure, and cultural expectations.But this isn't just about survival. It's about rewriting the way we think about resilience, breaking generational cycles, and learning how to meet life's challenges without burning ourselves out in the process. We talk about redefining strength, breaking generational patterns, and the tension between raising resilient kids while also protecting them from pain.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Wired to Win "We're wired to want to win. I take action every single morning to put myself in a successful position to manage whatever is thrown my way." - Michael Chernow You Can't Buy Time "What's the one thing in life that there is no way anyone has ever been able to purchase? Time. We're all given the exact same amount of time in a day. So if you want to to win in life, it requires an hour of self-indulgent, self-care time. Because when you can dedicate to that, you are going to show up a better human being." - Michael Chernow Why Addicts Feel In Control "When you are in active addiction, you have a sense of complete control, even though you're totally out of control. That sense of control comes from the ability to change how you feel. You know that there is a substance that will numb your feelings. So when you feel bad, you can easily make yourself feel good. When you feel good, you can easily make yourself feel great. And so in essence, you're playing God. You're controlling how you feel no matter what is going on around you." - Michael Chernow Links From Today's Show  Michael Chernow Kreatures of Habit - 20% OFF WITH CODE “WISDOM20" Dr. Russel Surasky The Big Book How to Know Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner 439 Khalil Rafati | From Homeless To Limitless: One Man's Spiritual Journey of Learned Helplessness to Powerful Humility The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma   Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code JOSH15 PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT

Bill is an older retired gentleman who lives alone and recently had to give up driving. He needs help to pick up groceries, prescriptions, and get to church on Sundays. “But you know what,” says Bill, “I love my days at home. I enjoy free worship music online and Bible teaching on the TV all day long.” Bill spends his days surrounded by Scripture, prayer, and praise. The habits we keep influence where our hearts are planted. Psalm 1 describes the habits of someone who has found favor in God: they delight in His truth, meditate on it often, and therefore do not follow the rebellious pattern of the world (vv. 1-2). Hardship will come to everyone, but a life established in the ways of God “is like a tree planted by streams of water . . . whose leaf does not wither” (v. 3). Depending on our season of life, we might not be able to spend hours a day in Bible study. However, Jesus said He satisfies anyone who is thirsty, and the Holy Spirit fills His followers like a river (John 7:37-39). We can steep our hearts in living water through praise and Scripture, and also through caring for others, talking to God while we work, and asking for forgiveness when we mess up. Following the wisdom of God plants our hearts in fertile soil. That life gets called righteous, and God watches over it (Psalm 1:6).
