This week we continue our Faith Conversations for Men Series as we dive into another hard topic, "Faith Through Suffering." Men – you WILL go through suffering in life, it's all about how you deal with it. Knowing Jesus does NOT mean you won't suffer in life. We live in a broken world. What does faith look like through suffering? We tend to think we can't have seasons of suffering and doubt if we are strong enough in our faith. This concept of "having it all together" is one of the most harmful things to Christians and the church. When we put this facade up, and don't open about our suffering it causes more harm. Men are especially subject to this and it ultimately leads to isolation. What does scripture say? There's a long record in scripture of God's people being very vulnerable about the things they are struggling with. Being able to lament, mourn and confess and be real with God and one another. We see it firsthand with Jesus crying out in the garden and lamenting on the cross. We have an invitation from scripture to be real and to lament about our suffering. It will ultimately lead to healing. Three Practical tips for dealing with suffering: Confront the Pain – Be real about your pain and your grief with yourself and with God Read your Bible – Find out what Scripture has to say about suffering Talk to someone – Open up about your pain to your spouse, friend, a counselor, your small group Recommended Resource: Check out this amazing book "Just Be Honest: How to Worship Through Tears" by our good friend Clint Watkins, www.thegoodbook.com/just-be-honest You can now watch the Men of Iron Podcast on YouTube – www.youtube.com/@men_of_iron.
