Life is hard... Christians should live differently

Today on the Daily Nugget Podcast, Mike continues in Romans 12:9–13, focusing on the next two phrases: “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” He shares how these qualities reveal a heart anchored in Christ — one that endures and thrives no matter the circumstances. Joyful hope comes from trusting God’s promises even when we can’t yet see the outcome, and patience in affliction grows as we remember that God is working through our trials to shape our character. Mike encourages listeners to hold tightly to hope, to endure hardship with grace, and to keep their eyes on Jesus, who strengthens and sustains us through every season.
