"Joy is not necessarily the absence of suffering. It is the presence of God."
- Sam Storms

This episode of World Impact, was filmed amid the ancient beauty of Philippi, where Paul first preached the Gospel in Europe and endured hardship for Christ. Dr. Billy Wilson shares how spiritual progress is often forged through struggle, drawing from Philippians to reveal four keys to enduring faith: confidence, humility, forward vision, and joy. With the story of Lydia’s conversion and the imprisonment of Paul and Silas as vivid backdrops, he reminds believers that pain is not a setback but a passageway to purpose. In every trial, God is shaping world changers who will carry the Gospel with resilience and hope.
