Following Jesus isn’t a straight line. It’s highs and lows. Seasons of joy… and seasons where we feel the weight of the world on our shoulders.
In John 11:7–16, Jesus intentionally leads His disciples into a difficult situation—not to harm them, but to deepen their faith. Sometimes the very place we want to avoid is the place where Jesus grows our roots the deepest.
This message unpacks what it means to:
- Be honest with Jesus about our fears and frustrations
- Choose His principles over our preferences
- Trust that His priority is growing our faith—even above our comfort
If you’re in a hard place right now, this message will remind you: Jesus has a purpose in it—and He is inviting you into deeper trust.
