611. James 1:2-3 - Spiritual Kick Off
Description
When gratitude feels thin and the table highlights what’s missing, where do you place your hope? We lean into James 1:2–3 and take an unvarnished look at trials, endurance, and the kind of joy that survives the valley. Chris shares the real stories behind the mic—divorce, the loss of a daughter, a recent injury—and how those moments exposed control, deepened reliance on Christ, and built a steady faith that doesn’t hinge on easy days.
Ever think, “I’m just a guy… what real difference can I make?” You’re not alone. But God isn’t looking for perfect men — just obedient ones. Our I’m Just a Guy Bible study on YouVersion has helped 20,000+ men see how God uses ordinary guys to do extraordinary things.
