Persecution among disciples of Jesus Christ continues to be fierce in many nations, and subtle in others.

Jesus said it would be like this. In this world you will have trouble.

Having problems and difficulties does not imply that you are a fake, a fraud, a failure, or the focus of God’s displeasure.

The storm tested the wise man and the foolish man, but the wise man had the ability to overcome, because he had prepared.

We all experience seasons of rejection.

We hear of an increase in physical, emotional and verbal abuse.

Many struggle with loneliness, depression, addiction, anxiety, and dysfunctional families.
