On this episode of The Next Faith-Filled Step, Sunny Cain is joined by author, pastor, and leadership coach David Stine to talk about how to endure—and even grow—through the storms of life.

Hard seasons are something we all face. But how different might our lives look if instead of shrinking from these seasons and trials, we met them head-on?

Drawing from his book The Way of the Ox, David shares a powerful picture of endurance—one that challenges the fast-paced, comfort-driven mindset of our culture and invites us into a more powerful and purposeful strength: the way of the ox.

In this conversation, we explore:

Why adversity is unavoidable—and how we respond matters
Common mistakes people make when facing hardship
What it looks like to develop true spiritual endurance
The “sacred keys” to advancing through difficult seasons: hope, faith, relationships, prayer, and passion
The role of consistent prayer when breakthrough feels delayed
How relationships strengthen us in seasons of pressure
What it means to take one small, faithful step when you feel overwhelmed

If you’re walking through a storm right now, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone—and that God has given you what you need to keep moving forward.
