(James 5:7-12)

- A suffering faith requires a persevering faith (5:7-8).

What do you do when you cry out to God, and he doesn’t answer? When we face deep suffering, when we experience great loss, when we undergo injustice and pain, the only thing that can get us through is sticking with it faith. Real faith is a persevering faith.
In this episode, we learn about four characteristics of sticking with it faith from the book of James.
