## Resource

If God is love, why does He allow suffering? John and Arden tackle this deep topic through John’s new book, "The King Is Coming," arguing that hardship can carry divine purpose by deepening Christ’s bond with His church. Drawing from Scripture and trauma-bonding research, they show how shared pain can form trust and loyalty that comfort cannot. Watch now to receive a bold vision of eternity where today’s endurance shapes tomorrow’s closeness with Christ. ______________________________________ FREE Show Notes Here: https://page.church.tech/dfa2ec74 ______________________________________ Click here to start your free extended trial with LOGOS today: Logos.com/Bevere ______________________________________ Order premium meat now through Good Ranchers—use code “JOHN" at checkout: https://go.goodranchers.com/john ______________________________________ Support this podcast by becoming a partner here (tax-deductible): https://3szn.short.gy/JBgive ______________________________________ Get John’s new book, The King is Coming , here: https://www.amazon.com/King-Coming-Prepare-Return-Christ/dp/1400349672/ref= ______________________________________ To help you grow as a follower of Christ, we invite you to download our everyday discipleship app, MessengerX.
