How Can We Prepare to Trust God Through Trials We Don’t Understand?

None of us knows what 2026 will bring, but no doubt it will have its difficult moments as well as its wonderful ones. How can we wisely prepare our hearts and minds to trust God through trials when they come?

When the Problem of Evil and Suffering Becomes Real

Most of us aren’t taught the truth about evil and suffering until we experience them.
