Lesson Overview

Let’s dig deeper into what it actually looks like to be in the midst of various kinds of tests of faith! In this lesson, Dr. Wilkinson gives you a vocabulary for talking about tests of faith in a way that will help you better understand what different tests might look like. You will also explore how people like Abraham, Moses, and Job experienced the same patterns and how they responded to them. Discover why the benefit of enduring tests of faith so greatly outweighs the cost!
