In this episode, Kam unpacks the deep connection between suffering and glory in Romans 8. Life isn’t free from pain, but what if our struggles serve a greater purpose? Kam explores how suffering can shape our faith, strengthen our character, and draw us closer to God. He reminds us that while hardship is a part of life, it’s not the end of the story because the glory that awaits far outweighs the pain we experience now. Plus, Kam offers a fresh take on the idea that not all suffering comes from evil sometimes, it’s how God teaches and transforms us.
