Metamorphosis: The Purpose of the Struggle

from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen

Have you ever felt like life was just... squeezing you? Like you’re trapped in a situation that is exhausting, violent, and honestly, not very "pretty"? We often pray for God to snip the shell/trial of life and let us out of the struggle/storm. But what if that very pressure is actually the secret to your future flight in Christ? Today, we’re starting continuing our series called Metamorphosis, looking at why the struggle of the chrysalis isn't a sign of defeat, but the very thing that prepares you to soar.
