The Purpose of Pain

from What God is Teaching Me · host Casey Putney

We try to avoid pain. We pray it away. We see it as a sign that something’s gone wrong. But what if pain isn’t punishment—what if it’s preparation?In this episode, Casey reflects on how God often uses pain not to harm us, but to shape us. He explores how the hardest seasons of life can become the most transformational—refining our faith, stripping away distractions, and awakening a deeper relationship with God.Maybe the goal isn’t comfort. Maybe the real goal… is growth.
