What does a ministry-minded Christian couple do when they experience five miscarriages, numerous disappointments, doubts, unanswered prayer, and incurable cancer? They PRAISE GOD and write a comforting and brilliant new book, 'How Does God Use Suffering for Our Good?', that will help thousands of others who are experiencing pain and suffering. This week, Frank sits down with Dr. @Clay_Jones and his wife of 50 years, @JeanEJones, to explore the hard realities of suffering and the even harder truth that God can use the most devastating events in our lives for good--both now and in eternity. Clay and Jean E. share lessons from their own lives and the Scriptures while answering questions like: -- If evil and suffering are happening to you is it all your fault? Do you just need more faith? -- What was Clay’s first major life crisis and how did it shape his worldview? -- How did Clay process learning he had incurable bone cancer and how is he feeling now? -- How are some Christians misrepresenting the Gospel? -- How did five miscarriages change Jean E.'s perspective and what good came from it? -- How does suffering lead to glory and what does it REALLY mean to give glory to God? -- What is God’s "Plan A” for your life? -- How did keeping truth journals help Jean E. stay anchored in Christ during hard times? -- What does it mean that Christians will ultimately reign with Christ? -- What is the Jones' best advice for those experiencing pain and suffering? One thing is certain in this life: We will all experience hardship and pain. If you’ve ever asked, “Why me?” this episode is just for you. This is as real as it gets, folks.
