Faithful in Suffering

Episode 8 – "Faithful in Suffering"
In this powerful episode of A Joyful Word Podcast, Pastor Scott Beardsley and Ray Crouch explore Jesus’ message to the church in Smyrna from Revelation 2:8–11. Known as the suffering church, Smyrna faced intense persecution and poverty—but they were rich in faith. Pastor Scott and Ray discuss how believers today can remain faithful in the face of trials, fear, and opposition. With encouragement from Christ Himself, this episode reminds us that suffering is not the end of the story—faithfulness leads to the crown of life.
