#050 "Beyond All Comparison" (2 Cor. 4:17)

May 11, 2025 • Kate • Season 1 • Episode 50

“For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.” (2 Corinthians 4:17)

What if the pain you're carrying is actually preparing you for something glorious? In this powerful episode, Kate dives deep into 2 Corinthians 4:17 to uncover the surprising truth that our present suffering isn’t pointless—it’s producing something eternal. Drawing from Paul’s personal afflictions, a rich theology of suffering, and even a scene from The Pursuit of Happyness, Kate leads you through a profound mind-shift: from temporary pressure to unshakable hope.

You’ll explore what the “eternal weight of glory” really means, how affliction draws us to God, and why the gospel makes our suffering both bearable and meaningful. With relatable stories, scriptural insight, and encouragement that feels like a friend sitting across the table, this episode will help you stop fearing your affliction and start seeing it as preparation for a future far more glorious than you can imagine.

Press play if you're ready to believe there is more coming for those who love Him.
