Life’s tough, but Jesus knew that—and He’s already won. In this episode, we break down John 16, where Jesus promises trouble but also victory. Here’s what we’re unpacking:

Stay Strong in Faith:

  • Jesus warns us about hard times so we don’t lose faith.

  • “In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

The Holy Spirit’s Got Your Back:

  • The Advocate (aka the Holy Spirit) guides us into truth, reveals God’s heart, and offers peace even when life’s messy.

Ask, Receive, Trust:

  • Jesus promises we’ll receive when we ask—when our hearts are aligned with God’s love, justice, and compassion.

A Real Talk on Prophecy:

  • The Spirit shows us the future, but not everything. Some things are for God alone. Our job? Stay faithful, not fearful.

Reflect On This:

  • How can you find peace in the middle of chaos?

  • Are your prayers in sync with God’s heart?

  • What does trusting the Holy Spirit daily look like for you?

Final Thought: Trouble’s a given, but so is Christ’s victory. Take heart—joy is coming.

Scripture Highlights:

  • John 16 (v. 1, 13, 24, 33)

  • Acts 1:7-8

  • Matthew 24:36
