Surprised by Joy and Suffering
Leighton Ford Ministries walks alongside leaders and ministries as trusted companions, helping them listen for God’s voice and respond with courage.
At LFM, we do not offer formulas or quick fixes. We come as friends on the journey, inviting people into sacred spaces through coaching, prayer, and discernment. This weekend, Rich Hurst is leading a visioning retreat with a church in Charlotte, North Carolina, as they seek God’s True North for their future. Please join us in praying for wisdom, unity, and fruitfulness.
Surprised by Joy and Suffering
Surprised by joy and suffering in the Christian life, leaders and congregations are reminded that God is at work even in trials. On this week’s Sunday Extra, Jim Singleton, LFM’s Director of Discipling Ministries, reflects on Habakkuk 3:17–19. He reminds us that following Christ often brings both joy and suffering, and that God uses even our trials to reveal His glory to others.
