Summary

Sometimes coming to Christian faith means that life gets harder and we don’t like that. We will all find ourselves in moments or seasons of discouragement, but we can wrestle through it with reverence. The main way to fight discouragement is by having a knowledge of God’s Word that helps you lean into Christ, and in this week’s episode, the Perrys walk through a number of passages to help us do just that. Scripture references: Psalm 88 John 6:60-68 Genesis 21:6 Luke 1:34 Galatians 6:6-9 Psalm 136:1-5 Hebrews 3:13 Hebrews 12:1-3 1 Peter 4:12-17 John 15:18-25 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 James 5:13 Other links: Jackie at Passion 2025 – “In Defense of Hope” “I Don’t Want to Be a Christian Anymore…” from Santee Zenobia TikTok and Instagram Subscribe to the Perrys' newsletter: https://withtheperrys.myflodesk.com/zhfus4jx1s Join Preston's discipleship community for men: https://www.patreon.com/PrestonPerry/membership To support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal: https://paypal.me/withtheperrys Shop BOLD Apparel: boldapparel.shop Learn more about your ad choices.
