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.

'No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. ' Hebrews 12:11

#Hebrews12 #Discipline #GrowThroughIt #FaithJourney #HarvestofPeace

Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble

#Hebrews12 #dailyoffice

Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith

#Hebrews12 #AllSaintsDay #morningprayer

God calls you higher, but some habits block the climb.
“Lay aside every weight…” (Hebrews 12:1).
Freedom starts with honesty. Don’t settle, boldly take the next step.

Hebrews 12 Citizens of an Unshakable Kingdom S7E27 - Biblical Tapestry We can come to the heavenly Jerusalem because of the better covenant that was mediated through Jesus Christ.  What Jesus did permits God’s people to enter God’s presence freely and confidently.

As partakers of the new covenant, we do not come to Mount Sinai but to a better mountain in Mount Zion.... the new heavenly Jerusalem

“Gratitude opens the door to awe. And awe is a muscle—we keep it alive by using it.
