How to Keep Your Faith When Life Hits Hard| Pastor Todd Bishop

Let’s be honest—real life is hard.

Not the highlight-reel version on social media.

Not the fairy-tale version from the movies.

But the real, messy, painful, unpredictable kind of life.

In this Rated R (for REAL) message, we talk about what it means to hold onto faith when life feels overwhelming—when relationships break, pressure builds, attacks come, and nothing seems easy.

This message is for anyone who’s ever thought:

“Why is this so hard?”

“Am I doing something wrong?”

“Will I ever get through this?”

The answer is clear: You may go through it—but you are not staying in it.

In this message, you’ll be encouraged to:

Understand why faith doesn’t eliminate hardship—but gives you strength through it

Recognize that trials are temporary, but purpose is eternal

Stop comparing real life to fake online highlights

Find hope when you’re tired, discouraged, or under attack

Realize that what feels ordinary or painful now is producing something priceless in you

Life may be hard—but God delivers every time.

What you’re walking through is not your ending—it’s your refining.
