What if the season you are trying to escape is the very season God is using to prepare you?
In this powerful Let’s Just Talk teaching, Paula A. Price, Ph.D. examines the purpose of trials, tests, setbacks, and difficult seasons. Rather than treating every hardship as punishment—or assuming every struggle means something has gone wrong—Dr. Price challenges readers to discern what kind of trial they are actually facing.
Are you being prepared for a future assignment? Corrected for a poor decision? Tested in your character, faithfulness, or capability? Or confronted with resistance connected to your calling?
Trials Before Triumph explores the “beta seasons” that come before greater responsibility, trust, leadership, and public usefulness. Using biblical examples including Joseph, Moses, Esther, Daniel, Jonah, and Jesus Christ, this eBooklet shows how God develops His servants before entrusting them with more.
Inside, you’ll discover how to:
-
distinguish preparation from consequences
-
recognize when your calling explains your crisis
-
identify what God may be testing in you
-
respond properly to correction and adversity
-
understand why character must precede greater responsibility
-
endure difficult seasons without abandoning your purpose
-
recognize when a trial is producing evidence of your readiness
Your trial may be painful, but it does not have to be pointless.
Sometimes the road to triumph runs straight through the courtroom of testing.
