Strengthened Through the Struggle: Entering God’s Kingdom

In this episode, we explore Acts 14:21–22, where Paul and Barnabas return to the churches they planted and “strengthened the disciples … reminding them that we must suffer many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God.”

We unpack what it means to prepare new believers not with a promise of ease, but with the reality of trials — because hardship refines faith and builds spiritual resilience. Drawing on biblical parallels (like Philippians 1:29 and Matthew 13:22), we discuss how believers today can both endure suffering and support others in their faith journey.
