Episode 80 - TSP | Part 6 - Accepting Hardship as a Pathway to Peace + Original Song "Peace" Episode 80 - The Serenity Prayer | Part 6 - Accepting Hardship as a Pathway to Peace  This may be the most difficult line in the entire Serenity Prayer. In this episode, I share personal stories of real hardship — my sister running away from home, losing my brother to Hodgkin’s disease, the devastating loss of my nine-month-old nephew, and more recent struggles with injury, limitation, and physical decline. Hardship doesn’t feel like peace. So how can it possibly be the pathway to it? Drawing from James 1, Hebrews 12, and the words of Jesus Himself, we explore how pain becomes training, how suffering forces surrender, and how surrender leads us to the Prince of Peace. This is not about pretending hardship is good. It’s about discovering what it produces when it is surrendered to God. Peace is not the absence of suffering. Peace is the presence of Christ in the middle of it. If you are carrying something heavy right now, this episode is for you.
