Join us as Joel shares how trials refine our faith, much like olives are crushed to produce oil. Drawing from 1 Peter 1, Joel explains that hardships test and strengthen us, shaping our character and deepening our trust in God. Jesus Himself experienced crushing in Gethsemane—an olive press—showing that faith is often formed under pressure.
Trials reveal what’s inside us, stripping away distractions and teaching us to rely on God. Joel highlights three key truths about trials: they are temporary, they refine us, and they mature us. Instead of resisting them, we’re invited to trust that God is at work, producing something valuable in us through every challenge.
