"If our conversations do not help people become satisfied in God through suffering [italics mine], then God will not be glorified, Christ will not be honored, the church will be a weakling in an escapist world of ease, and the completion of the Great Commission with its demand for martyrdom will fail."
"God has ordained that our conversations become deeper and more winsome as we are broken, humbled, made low and desperately dependent on grace by the trials of our lives."
