The School of Patience: Discover Meaning in Suffering from the Life of Job

Are you standing at a crossroads, wondering whether you should keep trusting God or leave your faith by the wayside? As you go through a tough season, you might hold on to faith for a while by reminding yourself that God will provide, that He loves you, and that things will work out for your good. But what happens when you grow weary? When your strength comes to an end? What do you do when your fingers start slipping off your faith and you come to new ground you’ve never walked before? How do you navigate this dark, lonely place?

Joe Dickinson has been on staff at Hillcrest Baptist Church since 2004 and has been the pastor since 2009. Pastor Joe is excited about the tremendous potential of the church and wants every believer to experience God’s goodness, even in the midst of suffering.
