Joy Amidst Suffering

Pete Shaw

Suffering is one of the few experiences every human being shares. Yet while none of us can avoid pain, we can choose how we respond to it.


In this week's teaching, we'll explore the surprising story of Korah and his descendants, discover how ancient Israel learned to transform tragedy into worship, and uncover why the Psalms of lament may be one of Scripture's greatest gifts to those who are hurting. Along the way, we'll consider what family legacies, honest grief, resilient hope, and the presence of God can teach us about finding joy—not after suffering ends, but in the midst of it.


If you've ever wondered where God is when life falls apart, struggled to hold onto hope, or needed permission to be honest about your pain, this conversation is for you.


Watch the video, listen to the podcast, or read the full teaching, and discover how lament, courage, and faith can become unexpected pathways to deep and lasting joy.
