Persevere with Purpose

Today on Wake Up, we're talking about how God uses the fires of life to forge us into something stronger. Based on Romans 5:3–4, this message reminds us that: Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

You might be going through something right now — a frustrating coworker, family tension, or personal struggle — but God’s Word says you're not being broken down, you're being built up.

Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s episode:
-Why, storms are refining you, not defining you.
-How to grow character in the fire of adversity.
-The difference between reacting and responding.
-A powerful mindset shift: See trials like puzzles to solve, not punishments to survive.
-Why your hope is rooted in your perseverance — not your circumstances
-How to love your "Sally at the office" (or Stewart at Burger King 😅)

🔥 Remember: Your legacy is being shaped now, through every storm you face with faith.
