Sometimes life is a series of trials that never seem to end. You make it through one and manage to take a deep breath just before the hints of another one come into view, right? Those consecutive hits can leave you feeling discouraged, frustrated, and worn out.

Trials test us. Trials often push us past what we think we can endure. AND trials are power packed with purpose IF we are willing to be transformed by them. 

Roman philospher, Seneca, reminds us of the purpose of those never-ending trials: "A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials."

If it's hard to see the purpose in the trials you're currently facing, perhaps hearing what Page discovered were the purposes of her trials will encourage you. 

In this episode, Page Geske, shares about the seemingly never ending trials she's faced: anorexia, recovering from a horrific car accident, divorce, colon cancer, and having her daughter decide to become a transgender man. Through each of these trials, she encountered God who took her through the refining fire yet showered her in His unfailing love and an indescribable peace.
