Redemptive Suffering (Part 2)
This week, Jake and Bob continue their conversation on redemptive suffering. They reflect on the Song of the Suffering Servant from Isaiah 53 and how Jesus redeems suffering itself. Jake and Bob also discuss how Jesus experienced all seven deadly wounds, challenged each identity lie, and how this in turn helps us challenge our own identity lies so that we too can love through sorrow. Key Points: Communion with Jesus is healing Confronting our judgements about God leads towards healing Jesus experienced each of the seven deadly wounds yet because His identity was rooted in the Father, He did not accept any identity lies. Only when our identity is rooted in God, can we truly love while suffering Resources: Real Suffering by Dr. Bob Schuchts Real Suffering Online Video Series with Dr. Bob Schuchts (and others) Healing the Whole Person online video course Healing the Whole Person workbook (select PDF or hard copy in the dropdown menu) Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

This week, Jake and Bob dive deep into the concept of redemptive suffering. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, processing a medical diagnosis, or struggling to love your neighbor, we all experience suffering in many forms throughout our lives.

They also explore the nature of suffering as an experience of evil, the healing power of suffering, and share personal stories of how suffering redeemed their lives. Key Points: Suffering is the experience of evil Redemptive suffering often involves facing deeper issues than we initially recognize Our understanding of God is often revealed in our response to suffering Community and communion with others are essential during times of suffering Surrendering to God in suffering leads to healing Connect with Restore the Glory: Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!
