Episode Overview
- 1 Corinthians 10:12-14 is about temptation, not suffering.
- 'God won't give you more than you can handle' is a misquote.
- God provides a way out of temptation.
- Suffering often exceeds what we can handle alone.
- Leaning on God and community is crucial during tough times.
Perhaps we could stop saying 'God won't give you more than you can handle' and instead say, 'When life feels like it's more than you can handle, I'm here'.
In this episode of The REBOOT Recovery Show, Evan and Jenny Owens take on a commonly misinterpreted Bible verse: 1 Corinthians 10:12-14. The duo, co-authors of 'Healing What's Hidden' and co-founders of Reboot Recovery, dive deep into the true meaning behind the often quoted, 'God won't give you more than you can handle.' Spoiler alert: that's not what the verse actually says! Instead, they clarify that it's about temptation, not suffering.
They explain how this misunderstanding can lead to unrealistic expectations and disappointment in faith. Through personal anecdotes and scriptural references, Evan and Jenny discuss how God provides a way out of temptation but does allow us to face more than we can handle, urging us to lean on Him and our community for support. This episode is a blend of humour, heartfelt stories, and deep theological discussion.
It's perfect for anyone grappling with hardship and seeking clarity on their spiritual journey. Don't miss the chance to gain a fresh perspective on a widely misunderstood verse and find comfort in knowing you're not alone in your struggles. Tune in to learn how to better support yourself and others through life's toughest challenges.
