About this episode
What challenges and difficulties do you face in your life? Do you consider it pure joy when you face these trials? No? Then this letter is for you! Rather than frustration, James exhorts us to consider our hardships as occasions for joy, because they are the opportunity for God to grow us to become the people we were meant to be. They are, or can be, the occasion for us to become more like Jesus!
