Why Hard Times Are Actually Helping You Grow | Pastor Mike Adkins

What if the hardest thing happening in your life right now is actually God's way of advancing His plan? In week 2 of "You Are What You Love," Pastor Mike Adkins digs into Philippians 1:12–21 — and Paul's stunning attitude while chained in Caesar's palace. The lesson? The patterns you repeat are shaping who you become, and even your suffering can become a story of bold faith. Welcome to Grace. We’re glad you’re here.
