Jack, your perspective is refreshing and bold. Thank you for the call to stronger faith as well as rethinking our view of suffering. Not only does scripture speak of faith through suffering as a general principle but we are offered dozens of tangible stories of real people whom God blessed for their suffering. It is so countercultural to consider “failure” as a blessing but in so many cases it is.
What an applicable and uncomfortably challenging post to swallow there, sir! Well said...
