In this opening sermon of a series on James, Karl Ihfe reminds us that resilient faith isn't built in the easy seasons of life — it's forged in the hard ones. Drawing from James 1, Karl challenges us to see our trials not as interruptions to our spiritual growth, but as the very places where God is forming us most deeply. Resilient faith doesn't require us to have all the answers; it requires us to keep trusting who God is, even when we don't understand what He's doing.
