Growing Strong through Suffering

By Joël Malm Published on June 9, 2025

In this 16-minute conversation, Joël Malm and his dad, Rick, discuss how suffering builds resilience and prepares us for the responsibilities and rewards of reigning with Christ in eternity — challenging the common misconception of a passive afterlife. They explore the concept of “filling up what is lacking” in Christ’s afflictions, and unpack the idea that Heaven involves active participation and service rather than passive bliss.
