Send us Fan Mail

🎙️ Welcome

Welcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast — where we open God’s Word each day and walk together through the Scriptures. In this episode, we’re exploring 2 Corinthians 1:8–11, where Paul pulls back the curtain on his own suffering to show us a deeper truth: God allows trials not to crush us, but to teach us to rely on Him — the God who raises the dead.

If you’ve ever felt at the end of yourself, this message might help.

📄 Episode Notes

In today’s episode, “Why God Allows Trials”, we step into Paul’s experience in 2 Corinthians 1:8–11. Paul thought the end had come — but instead, he discovered the unshakable hope of God’s deliverance.

We’ll explore:

• Why God lets His people face overwhelming trials.
• How suffering strips away false securities.
• What it means to trust “the God who raises the dead.”
• The past, present, and future hope of God’s deliverance.

This is a message of hope for anyone who feels overwhelmed. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow — God is faithful.
