We all suffer. We all go through hardship and pain, or as the Dread Pirate Roberts says in The Princess Bride, "Life is pain, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something." Andrew Brooks, River City's Student and Youth Director, teaches from Psalm 44 and uncovers the truth that orienting our hearts around God's word before we suffer is what drives us through the challenges of suffering. If we're oriented around what is true before hardship comes, it's much easier to re-orient ourselves in and after the moment.
