Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

If you’re suffering today as a Christian, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: God uses suffering to reinforce some big truths. In this Sunday episode, Pastor Greg Laurie reveals the profound reasons God allows His people to experience trials. Listen in! Notes The Christian life is about persevering. Job said, "We're all adrift in the same boat: too few days, too many troubles.” There is a loving God who, despite the worst tragedy, can bring good out of bad.
