Overcoming Adversity | Anya McMahon

Aug 17, 2025    Anya McMahon

Life comes with battles, but every trial has the potential to build strength, shape character, and position us for greater authority in God’s Kingdom. In this powerful message, we journey through the life of David and uncover timeless lessons on how to endure adversity and rise stronger on the other side.


Drawing from David’s victories and failures, we see both the reward of obedience and the painful cost of disobedience. We also explore the Hebrew word “Mara” — meaning grieved or bitter — and how understanding this depth of emotion reveals the resilience required to keep trusting God even when life feels overwhelming.
