"More Than You Can Handle" — The Truth Behind the Misquote - episode 86

from BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard · host Rev. Kenn Blanchard

The phrase "God won't put more on you than you can handle" is not Scripture. It's a comforting cliché, but it's not a biblical promise. The Bible teaches something far more honest and far more hopeful: God meets you in the moments that exceed your strength. Most people are misquoting - 1 Corinthians 10:13 — but that verse is about temptation, not suffering. God provides a way of escape when you're tempted.
