Wrapping up season 1 of Ascend The Trenches, Jerrod and Ilorra tie all of the threads of the previous episodes together as they reveal a truth Christians of the past knew well but one that many of us today would rather ignore: suffering is not optional. We are easily persuaded to believe the lies that suffering is avoidable and that suffering is not good for us, but God's Word gives us a very different perspective. How does God use suffering in the life of the believer, in the Christian marriage, and in our parenting? How can we learn to suffer well? That's what this episode is all about!
