Episode 68: Divine "Persecution" Matthew 5:11-12

Today's bible study guides your faith journey with a powerful reminder:Not every storm is proof that we're standing with Jesus….sometimes the storm is His mercy steering us back toward Him. The danger is confusing discipline with persecution and calling ourselves victims when God is actually treating us like sons and daughters. Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podcast designed to challenge and deepen your faith journey through Scripture, biblical history, and practical Christian living. Each episode takes a fresh look at the Bible by connecting ancient truths to everyday struggles, asking hard questions, and exploring what it really means to follow Jesus in today's world. Through a consistent weekly rhythm of teaching, reflection, and prayer, you'll be encouraged to examine your heart, strengthen your relationship with God, and live out your faith with greater courage and purpose. Whether you're new to Christianity, returning to church, or a lifelong believer looking for deeper understanding, Dan in the North invites you to discover the richness of God's Word and continue your faith journey one episode at a time.
