17: How Suffering Teaches Us To Trust God
In this episode of “At This Table,” hosts Carol and Athena take us through 1 Peter 4:12-19. We’ll take a look at our attitude toward suffering.
Key Takeaways:
Suffering for God’s glory …
- Suffering spurs us on to HOPE. Don’t be surprised when suffering comes. It’s inevitable for all Believers. And it is intended to deepen our delight in Him, our HOPE of glory.
- Suffering for Christ allows us to live out the Gospel. We are going to suffer because we live in a sinful world. But, when we suffer well for Christ, others will see Him through us.
- Suffering teaches us trust God. We don’t have to wait for our suffering to improve in order for us to know God is good, and for us to continue pressing on and trusting our lives to the Lord.

Thank you for joining us for this insightful episode of “At This Table.” As Carol and Athena walked us through 1 Peter 4:12-19, we hope you were encouraged to view suffering through a new lens. Remember, suffering is not only inevitable but also purposeful in our journey as believers.
