## Resource

We all have intense seasons of hardship. Why is that? Who is to blame? Sometimes the answer is that no one is to blame. Sometimes our hardship is simply a tool being used by God go grow us and to display His glory. Today Jon briefly shares from John 9 and also shares a piece of how God used hardship to change his life.
