• 134 | Are Hard Times a Punishment or Change for Growth?
    2024/11/19

    When we face difficult times, it's easy to view them as punishment for past mistakes or poor choices. In this episode, I share how shifting our perspective from seeing hardships as punishment to viewing them as opportunities for growth can transform our journey through adversity.

    Through powerful biblical examples like Joseph, Moses, and Paul, I illustrate how challenges often prepare us for future purposes we can't yet see. Drawing from my own experience of surviving an abusive marriage, I demonstrate how this mindset shift not only builds resilience but can deepen our relationship with God during tough seasons.

    I offer practical journaling prompts to help you identify areas where you might be viewing struggles as punishment and guide you in reframing these situations as opportunities for personal and spiritual development.
