When life feels heavy, it can be hard to believe anything good could come from what you’re carrying. In this episode of The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast, Jennifer Rothschild joins Meredith Brock and Shae Hill for a conversation about what it looks like to face real hardship with an eternal perspective. Walking through 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Jennifer reminds us that trusting God doesn’t mean minimizing what hurts or pretending everything is fine.
