Stronger: Shinning in Trials

Mar 22, 2026    Jason Skipper

God allows trials not to punish us, but to shape us and reveal His purpose through us, making our response a powerful witness to others. Even in hardship, we can hold onto truth—God is with us (Psalm 23:4), we are closer to breakthrough than we think, and there is always reason to rejoice. This isn’t surface happiness, but a deep, anchored joy found in Jesus, expressed by choosing joy daily, praying continually, and giving thanks in all circumstances (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18).
