51. Will God Give You More Than You Can Handle?

January 7, 2019 | Aaron Armstrong

Over the last several centuries, there are a few clichés or bits of popular theology that have crept into our vocabulary—and into our worldview as believers. But are they  true? Brian and Aaron are exploring some of the most common sayings, looking at what can be commended and what should be challenged in each, and, ultimately, whether they draw us toward Christ or away from Him. In this episode, we’re exploring the saying, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” Listen in to hear:
  • Where this saying came from
  • The difference between being tempted beyond our ability and being given more than we can handle
  • One reason God might allow suffering into our lives

    Thank you for reminding me of this truth. I know it in my head – I’m hoping it gets down to my heart.
