In the Arena: Don’t just go through it; grow through it.

What’s a guarantee in this life? We will all face troubles. It sounds depressing, but what if facing trials is more empowering than we think?
In this message, Garrett Boring looks for answers to common questions about pain and challenges you to change the way you think about it through the words in James 1:2-5. What if pain has purpose? What if pain is a part of the process? What if pain paves the way for perseverance?
So, our core truth this week is that we won’t just go through trials. We’ll grow through them. We can’t control what happens to us, but we can control our response. So, what can advice from James-the half-brother of Jesus-offer to us today?
