Hi, this is Robert Jeffers, and I'm glad to study God's Word with you every day on this Bible teaching program.

On today's edition, A Pathway to Victory.

You see, one reason God allows us to witness the destruction of other people's lives

is to serve as a warning for us of the dangers of disobedience.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor, Dr. Robert Jeffers.

Whether it's a surprise layoff at work or maybe a sudden dip in the stock market,

unexpected hardships are part of life.

But you know, those moments of trial really can make us wonder at times whether God is really paying attention.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffers shows us how God can use

difficult times to strengthen our faith. But first, let's take a minute to hear some important

ministry updates. Thanks, David, and welcome again to Pathway to Victory. All of us know someone

who's walked away from their Christian faith. I want to begin with a sobering truth.

Parents and grandparents, you can plead with your prodigal loved ones to come home.

You can pray for them.

You can reason with them.
