I Can Only Imagine: Personal Joy Through Personal Trials - Baptist (James 1:2-4)

Source: ChurchWiseAI72 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Bart Millard's trials—abusive father, uncertain career, personal struggles—became the crucible for "I Can Only Imagine." Baptist spirituality emphasizes personal application: your trials, your testing, your steadfastness, your completeness. James 1:2-4 is personal promise—count your trials joy; know your faith is being tested; watch your steadfastness grow. Bart couldn't see joy in childhood abuse; looking back, he sees how trials produced his testimony. Count your personal trials joy; God is personally forming you.
