This week, Pastor Shaq Hager concludes the Spiritual Formation series by talking through the intersection of our formation into Christlikeness and suffering. We can approach our formation thinking it’s always up and to the right, that we’re always moving from weakness to strength and from failure to victory. Yet, it’s in those places where we experience suffering that our theology oftentimes fails and we’re left with nothing more than ourselves and Jesus. It’s in these places that the depth and intimacy of our relationship with Him is what carries us through. And, it’s in these seasons of darkness that we’re shaped and formed, not in spite of our suffering, but through it.
