It was not pastoral teaching, or small group fellowship, or worship services, or books of theology - rather, they mentioned suffering. "People said they grew more during seasons of loss, pain, and crisis than they did at any other time." We discover the hidden value of suffering only by suffering - not as part of God's original or ultimate plan for us, but as a redemptive transformation that takes place in the midst of trial.
