Fighting for Joy
Abundant life doesn't mean ignoring hardship, but it should give us a buoyancy through suffering that those without Christ would envy.

Claude Houde joins the Gary Wilkerson Podcast to discuss ways Christians can continually focus their lives on God and bear supernatural fruit.
On this week’s episode of the Gary Wilkerson Podcast, Tim Dilena discusses friendships, family, and the future of the church.
In perilous times like these, is the church powerless to do anything? Are we to sit and wait for Christ to return? Or, are we called to take drastic action of some kind? When all around us the world is trembling, with men’s hearts failing them for fear, are we called to take up spiritual weapons and do battle with the adversary?
In 1994, a magnitude 6.7 earthquakes hit San Fernando Valley in California. Apartments and parking structures folded in on themselves. A freeway collapsed; streets cracked in half.
Tim Dilena explains about how one of the worst things we can do in our Christian walk is to waste the trials God gives us. As difficult as it may be to believe, God has great plans for the toughest times in our lives, if only we let him work. Otherwise, as Dilena points out, “Something happened to you, but nothing happened in you.” Through our struggles, God wants to develop maturity and steadfast joy in our hearts that will outlast even the darkest nights.
