CT 231 - Dealing with Difficulty according to James and Peter

How can Christians consider trials a joy? Does God withhold answers to prayers when we lack faith? What’s the difference between trials and temptations? And does James’ emphasis on good works contradict Paul’s teaching on salvation by grace through faith? In this episode of Consider This, Justin and Drew Moss explore these questions and more as they unpack the books of James and 1 Peter. They discuss overcoming temptation, controlling the tongue, avoiding favoritism, living as strangers in this world, and maintaining an eternal perspective through suffering. Plus, they explore the historical context of Isaiah and how its prophecies point us to Jesus.
