Pressure doesn’t just hit at work — it shows up in your marriage, mindset, and body. The real question: what do you do with it?

This week, Joey and Paul unpack:

• The difference between carrying your load vs. sharing burdens (Galatians 6).

• Why resilience isn’t muscling through but leaning on brothers.

• How trials are preparation, not punishment (James 1:2–4).

• A family challenge to tackle something hard together this weekend.

👉 Don’t carry it solo. Strength multiplies when we share the weight.

“Trials aren’t punishment. They’re preparation.”

In this episode, Paul and Joey unpack James 1:2–4 and explore how God uses struggles to shape patience, perseverance, and character.

Paul shares personal stories of cancer, loss, and life’s hardest seasons—showing how those moments weren’t meant to break him, but to refine him. Joey challenges us to shift our perspective and ask:

👉 “What is God building in me through this trial?”

If you’re in the fire right now, this conversation will help you see it’s not there to destroy you—it’s there to transform you.
