#5: What the Bible Doesn't Say About Suffering
Show Notes

This episode is all about common platitudes, verses taken out of context, and false beliefs associated with Christian suffering. We talk about why these are not helpful and why they aren't consistent with what the Bible actually says about suffering.

We reference many Bible verses and passages in the episode. Here they are in no particular order, as well as some verses that we didn't explicitly mention but are also helpful.
Isaiah 40:29, Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 46:1-3, Joshua 1:9, 1 Corinthians 12:9-10, Philippians 4:11-13, Romans 8:28-30, 1 Peter 5:7, John 9:1-12, James 1:2-4, 1 Corinthians 10:13

Grace mentions a book in the episode that references a story about the Refiner's Fire. Here is a link to that book on Amazon:
