Can suffering actually increase our faith instead of destroying it? In this 4-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef shares that yes—true faith is a growing trust in the living God no matter our earthly circumstances.

Preaching verse by verse through the book of 2 Thessalonians, Dr. Youssef demonstrates how we can have a brush with death and yet be joyful, receive a frightening diagnosis and yet be full of praise, and experience unimaginable loss and still stand strong on the bright hope of heaven. For as we allow our suffering to drive us closer to our Savior, our experiential knowledge of His love and care for us grows.

May this foundational series strengthen you as you face your own fires of affliction in life.
