Many of you have probably prayed the prayer, Paul, Lord, please take this away from me.

Not once, but many times.

And it becomes exhausting and frustrating and it even brings doubt to some.

Today is a really important podcast because we need to talk about trials and God's grace.

And how do they go together?

And what is the promise that we have from our God?

It's a really important

conversation and we dive really deep into the aspects of God's love for us and how it's not

transactional in the midst of our trials. We hope this really encourages you. And if you find it

helpful, please share it with somebody. Maybe it'll encourage them to give them some strength

and hope in the midst of their suffering as well. Thanks.

Hey, guys. This is Justin. Maybe you know that you are forgiven because of Jesus Christ.

But you're wondering, what does Jesus have to do with my Christian life? How is he involved in my sanctification even?

Or is he concerned at all with the ways that I struggle and the way that my life goes up and down?

Is there any comfort for me in Jesus when it comes to all of that?

Well, I've written a book called More Than Forgiven,

how being in Christ changes everything that deals with this topic from Romans chapter 6.

You can find this book at theocast.org.

Welcome to Theocast,

encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

We're still doing that, John.

That's a good thing you do.
