Welcome to the Joyful Pursuit Podcast, where Fr. Steven Bolton explores the profound connection between suffering and joy in the pursuit of truth. This episode dives into the challenging concept of finding joy amidst suffering, a notion that may seem counterintuitive in today's culture that often seeks to avoid pain at all costs.
Inspired by the teachings of Christ, St. Philip Neri, and St. John Henry Newman, Fr. Steven guides listeners through a thoughtful examination of why God permits suffering and how it can be transformative. Discover how suffering, when embraced with faith and love, can produce steadfastness, character, and hope, ultimately leading to a deeper union with God.
The episode also touches on the role of suffering in our fallen world and how it can be used to refine our love and commitment to Christ. With insights from scripture and the wisdom of the saints, this discussion offers a hopeful perspective on enduring trials with grace and finding joy that transcends mere happiness.
Join Fr. Steven as he challenges us to fix our eyes on Jesus, who transforms our pain from within, and discover the eternal joy that awaits through perseverance and faith.
