Strength in Weakness: Finding Christ in the Struggle
In this episode of Miked Up, Dr. Mike and Coby dive into 2 Corinthians 12, where Paul speaks of the “thorn in the flesh” and how weaknesses can draw us closer to God. They explore how, in church culture, we often focus on our strengths while neglecting to understand the value of struggles. Why does God allow certain challenges to persist? How can these moments keep us tethered to Christ, even in the hardest times?
Dr. Mike and Coby also discuss the importance of casting our cares on the Lord, the role of prayer, and the power of praise—even when the enemy tries to silence it. They highlight the significance of community and the need for trusted people to open up to during difficult seasons. Additionally, they talk about practical spiritual disciplines—such as quiet time, eliminating distractions, and intentional prayer practices—that help Christians navigate through struggles and remain grounded in their faith.
