Suffering is bad, right? That's why we avoid it, isn't it? What if we are wrong about suffering? What if suffering is for our good? The Bible says that Jesus learned obedience through suffering. It also says that we are blessed when we are persecuted. If that's true, why do we work so hard to avoid it?

We'll discuss all this and more on today's episode of The Cross Examination Podcast.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crossexaminationpodcast/support
