THE POTTER'S HAND| Embracing the Journey| Suffering for & with Christ| Discipleship |CHIMDI OHAHUNA

In this thought-provoking episode of The Potter's Hand, we consider the The Weight of Suffering and the Glory of God by looking into the profound relationship between faith, suffering, and the authentic nature of our connection with God. As we explore Scripture—particularly Romans 5:18 and Hebrews 10:38—we challenge the notion that our faith should be primarily based on our needs being met. Instead, we invite you to reframe how you meet with God, focusing on relational needs, transcending physical, emotional, and psychological expectations.

Discover the concept of vain glory—examine how the fleeting praises of men can lead us astray. In contrast, true glory emerges from our willingness to suffer alongside Christ. Also, discover how suffering plays an essential role in God’s structural work within us, a divine process that is not rooted in wickedness or torture but is rather an opportunity for growth and transformation.

Also, this teaching confronts the uncomfortable truth that many people may come to Christ with empty promises and superficial explorations. Like the Centurion who stood vigilant at the foot of the Cross, we must be willing to embrace genuine suffering for the sake of righteousness to truly lead others to Him.

As we navigate 1 Peter 3:14-17, we shed light on the trials that come from doing good and the challenges faced by Christians who compromise due to fear of suffering. Is it shameful to suffer for doing wrong, or is it far more glorious to endure hardship for the sake of righteousness? Also we reflect on 1 Peter 4:16-19, reminding ourselves to glorify God even when facing shame for our beliefs.

Listen for a compelling discussion that may reshape your understanding of suffering, glory, and the nature of your relationship with God. It’s time to embrace the journey and discover the beauty that emerges from enduring trials for His sake. Tune in, reflect, and let The Potter's Hand mold you into the vessel He intends you to be!
