When life presses down hardest, God's grace becomes most evident. In this deep and stirring episode, Reverend Ben Cooper explores the mystery of divine strength in human weakness, drawing powerful parallels between Paul's "thorn in the flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7–10) and Jacob’s all-night wrestling match with God (Genesis 32:22–32).

As global instability increases—wars, financial uncertainty, and moral confusion—this message becomes more relevant than ever. Reverend Ben invites listeners to stop viewing hardship as a setback and start seeing it as a setup for a deeper encounter with God. He unpacks the truth that suffering isn’t always meant to be removed—it’s often meant to reveal the presence of Christ more clearly in our lives.

Cooper’s insight goes beyond traditional religious responses. “Ministry is limited. Church is limited. The Kingdom is not limited,” he says, challenging us to pursue Kingdom living rather than settling for institutional Christianity. He boldly contrasts performance-based religion with the raw, real encounters that mark a life surrendered to God.

What if the thorn in your life is actually the gateway to God’s strength? What if your struggle, like Jacob's limp, becomes the mark of divine intimacy? Instead of resisting the pressure, this episode calls you to lean into God's grace, where His power is made perfect in your weakness.

If you’re walking through sickness, loss, fear, disappointment, or exhaustion, this message is a lifeline. It’s not about escaping the trial, but discovering God's glory in the middle of it. Get ready to see your pain through a Kingdom lens and find resurrection power in your lowest valley.

➡️ Listen now to discover how your weakness may be the very place where God's strength meets you most powerfully. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear that their struggle is not the end—but the beginning of divine breakthrough.
