Trials. Suffering. Hardship. These aren’t things we naturally welcome—much less rejoice in. And yet, James opens his letter with a startling command: “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials.” Really? Joy? That’s not just a suggestion—it’s a shout.

In our latest article, Maxie Dunnam explores this bold call to joy, unpacks the true purpose of trials, and shares a powerful story that reshapes how we see suffering. Are we wasting our struggles, or are we allowing them to perfect and complete us—lacking in nothing? You may never look at suffering the same way again.
