I listened to the Come, Follow Him podcast/video this week with John Bytheway and Hank Smith. The guest of the week was Dr. Larry Nelson, a professor of human development in the college of family life at BYU. I just love the insights he shared about 2 Corinthians 1-7. One of them was that God is not the cause of our trials. He isn’t up on His throne in heaven sending us problems. Instead, he is like a patient parent, who is there to comb out the tangles in our hair. Trials are an inevitable part of the mortal probation that we agreed upon before we were born. Watch the videos below. It has so many great quotes! The part about the nature of God is at the 28:35 mark.
