03 God’s Plan for Suffering
Many saints question suffering—is it from God, our broken world, or the devil? Can we, in Christ, expect a life without hardships? In this session, Peter de Korte unpacks suffering in detail: where it comes from, how we grow from it, and how we face it. He reminds us that we live in a spiritual world—God is always involved and in control. He will allow us to be tested, but satan is tempting us to lose our faith in God. So, we have a choice to make: will we allow God to change us, or will we give in to the temptations of the enemy?
