Listen to this archive episode of Tent Talk as Nancy McCready explores what it means to have the mind to suffer—not suffering as punishment, self-righteousness, or something we manufacture for ourselves, but the willingness to endure whatever comes through following the Father and living as Christ.
Drawing from 1 Peter 4:1, Romans 8, and Philippians 2, Nancy examines the mind of Christ as part of our inheritance in Him. As maturing sons, we are learning to see as He sees, think as He thinks, and become increasingly responsive to Holy Spirit. This includes developing the willingness to persevere when obedience brings rejection, hardship, waiting, or suffering.
The motivation is not suffering itself—it is fellowship with Him. As the mind of Christ is developed within us, fear, rejection, and the threat of suffering lose their ability to control us. This archive episode is a call to allow Holy Spirit to prepare us for the day and hour in which we live, so that whatever lies ahead, we can continue faithfully with Him.
