I am John Eldridge and welcome to the Ransomed Hart

podcast.

From time to time we've been asked as a ministry what our

take is on suffering. And the reason being is that we speak so often and so passionately about breakthrough.

We believe in breakthrough.

We believe that more life and more wholeness and more freedom is available

than most people are experiencing.

And so, yes, we do drive toward that with all of the energy that God gives us.

But I don't want to give a wrong impression either. We do understand that suffering

is a part of our journey in this world, in fact, not just because we live in a broken world,

but suffering actually comes to us, as Paul says, because the

sufferings of Christ overflow into our lives.

And so what we want to do is offer to you in this month a series of podcasts that have been excerpted from a recent talk that I did on the subject of suffering.

Everything we've talked about, everything we've talked about in boot camp and through the course of the weekend is available.

It's available, okay? We believe in life, we believe in breakthrough. We believe that there's just, you don't have to live under boatloads of darkness that most people just accept and live under their entire life.

You don't.

You can have intimacy.

You can have clarity.
