What can a foray into disc golf teach us about God's Providence? It's not all about birdies and pars. Jayce, James and Father John Paul Lewis dig into the subject of God's Providence, reflecting on how even suffering and adversity are part of His divine plan. Joined by Father John Paul Lewis, who shared his incredible conversion story rooted in his own experience with life-threatening illness.

Absorbing the lessons from the tale of Joseph in Genesis, we examine the power of suffering and its transformative potential. How can our adversities possibly have a redeeming effect on others? It's a challenging concept to embrace, but one that opens up a whole new perspective on faith, surrender, and the grandeur of God's vision. Trusting in the Lord's Providence isn't easy, but taking that leap of faith, just as Joseph did, might be the key to enduring and even finding peace amidst trials.

Drawing strength from the understanding of God's Providence can provide comfort, assurance, and even hope for a better tomorrow.
