How should believers respond when suffering comes through sickness, loss, persecution, broken relationships, or the ordinary pain of life in a fallen world?  In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing walks through what Scripture teaches about suffering, God’s sovereignty, persecution, and the presence of Christ in the valley.
