"We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character…" Rick and Lauren begin this week by referencing this Scripture in Romans 5 to set up their discussion on endurance.

Rick references times in his own life where he's had to put on a brave face and learn endurance, but he follows this up by referencing Paul Tripp's quote about putting our faith and endurance in God.

Rick expresses that as Believers, we shouldn't just try to get through things but should instead find our strength in God so that through endurance, He can grow and transform us.

Rick then takes time to go through four things that help with endurance in the Lord:

  1. Endure from a place of security, not anxiety
  2. Take time to root yourself in God's truth and encouragement instead of getting caught up in too much social media or new
  3. Process and pray before jumping into things
  4. Look for inspiration

In closing, Rick reminds listeners that once we find our endurance in the Lord, we can share that with those around us.
