Redemptive Suffering: God's Mission Through Our Messes (VIDEO)
At the recent PCA Global Missions Conference, pastor and RUF leader Russ Whitfield led us through a painful, yet beautiful picture of redemptive suffering. Drawing from Philippians 1:12-18, Russ shows us how God uses suffering to advance His mission and deepen our faith. Rather than viewing suffering as a setback, it as an essential part of the Christian mission and can embolden us as believers.
