Chip's series on James 1 offers God's hope and insight for facing trials and fear today.3 Observations about life in a fallen world1. Trials are inevitable2. Trials tend to “make us” or “break us”3. Victims fail to move beyond asking “why” and remain stuck in their painA word from God to those whose world is “falling apart.” -James 1:1-41. What can I control? -My ATTITUDE2. What must I do to make it through today? -ENDURE3. What hope do I have for tomorrow? -God will take the WORST and use it for my BESTHow God uses adversity to mature us1. We're forced to DEPEND on God at a new level. Left alone, we're self-sufficient, proud, and insensitive to Him.2. We're WEANED from the temporal, urgent, and worldly affairs of life. We're forced to REEXAMINE our values, priorities, commitments, and future.3. Trials let us WITNESS God's reality and power first-hand. Our need becomes the vehicle of His grace; our problems the object of His power.4. They serve as a TESTIMONY to the unbelieving world. How we endure hardship shows the world how real God is.5. We become sensitive, caring, and compassionate CHRIST-LIKE people. Those hurt deeply tend to love deeply.Broadcast Resource<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/topics/personal-growth/the-art-of-survival/?source=WEBPODDON&referral=PODCAST">Series Resources</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/broadcasts/message-notes/page/8/?series=2474%253Fsource%253DWEBPODDON&referral=PODCAST">Message Notes</a></li></ul>Year End Match<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/special/yem2025/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=shownotes&segment=podcast-listener&utm_campaign=yem_120125&utm_content=aos+podcast&source=25YEMPOD&referral=PODCAST">Double Your Gift Today</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/about/2025-annual-ministry-report/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=shownotes&segment=podcast-listener&utm_campaign=yem_120125&utm_content=aos+podcast&source=25YEMPOD&referral=PODCAST">Ministry Report</a></li></ul>Additional Resources<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/format/great-gifts/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=shownotes&segment=podcast-listener&utm_campaign=great-gifts-xmas&utm_content=aos+podcast&source=25YEMPOD&referral=PODCAST">Christmas Gifts</a></li></ul>Connect<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="tel:8883336003">888-333-6003</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://livingontheedge.org/">Website</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://livingontheedge.org/chip-ingram-app">Chip Ingram App</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.instagram.com/livingontheedgewithchipingram">Instagram</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.facebook.com/LOTEcommunity">Facebook</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://twitter.com/lotecommunity">Twitter</a></li></ul>Partner With Us<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://livingontheedge.org/donate/?source=WEBPODDON&referral=PODCAST">Donate Online</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="tel:8883336003">888-333-6003</a></li></ul>
