🕊️ The Theology Of Suffering : Guest: Tom Trimble 

I lost my husband 5 months ago. This podcast helped me more than I could have ever imagined. 😭

Thank you so much Kingdom Speak! Love this episode! So needed! Anthony Trimble was a Godly influence on the UPC TN district growing up. He played the drums at TN youth camps back in the mid to early 2000s. He was a phenomenal drummer!

This was an incredible episode. I've been a Spotify listener for a couple of years now, and this became one of my instant favorites. Bro. Tom Trimble was one of the first apostolic musicians whose music I found and loved after being born again 10 years ago, and it's ministered to me consistently since. Bro. Anthony Trimble's music has also helped me through many circumstances, and his final years of music releases have a powerful, deep anointing of suffering on them that ministers to people in their deepest pains in a way that not all music can. After losing my father and stepfather to battles with cancer in the past 7 years, I can say firsthand how true so much of this wrestling is that Bro. Trimble speaks of. But God is faithful, and He is good, even when His ways are in opposition to what we pray and hope for. He is still trustworthy. Thank you for sharing an interview about this tough topic. I immediately shared it with several people.

Thank you all for this episode. Jesus literally turned my mourning into dancing @ 10:30 p.m. as my hubby lay dying in the hospital from ruptured stage 4 rectal cancer. Jesus and I had a wonderful time of rejoicing. Sounds crazy, macabre, or whatever, but it was sweet communion with my Savior. That we should know Him in the fellowship of His suffering. Jesus does understand and care. I love Him.

Thank you for asking Bro. Trimble to talk about his son. Those of us who have lost a child want to talk about them. I’m going to be meditating on searching out God’s motives and the blessing that can be found in not being offended in Jesus. This is a beautiful, heartfelt episode.

This podcast was amazing. I was in tears right from the start. Such faith in God.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a man of God so unique. His talents and gifts are abundant and his 12:07 love, compassion and care for others has convicted me. He’s blessed our church many times.

I know I should say something, for review's sake, but how? I am sitting here reflecting on all the things you guys talked about in this beautiful episode and I think just how important this theology of suffering truly is. I loved when Bro. Trimbal said that sometimes God chooses to mess with us. It is always for a reason though. Maybe a reason we don't understand but for a reason. When my mom, Sis. Julia Steward passed away, that was for me one of those moments. You see, I thought I had a handle on grief and suffering and trusting God through it all. I have seen miracles and suffered loss and have been through what both of those things feel like. I have known what it is to be overcome with joy by the miraculous raising from the dead of my oldest new born child, and then later suffer from the loss of a still birth. I have felt the crushing of grief and thinking I would drown in a river of tears at the death of my father and other loved ones. As a pastor's wife I have wept with those who have grieved, offered comfort as tears flowed from eyes of sorrow of so many for various different reasons. .....but at the death of my precious mother, who was the single most important influence in my life, I felt, nothing. That's right, nothing. At her viewing I looked around as my siblings and their families wept and mourned her loss and I held them and comforted them, but I felt nothing. I was so troubled by this I confided in one of my sisters, hoping she could say something that would trigger my grief process, but instead she said with tears streaming down her face, how wonderful that God had helped me accept her passing so soon and was giving me peace through it all. ...However, I felt no peace. I felt like there was surely something wrong with me. Like I had lost my ability to feel emotion. This went on for some time afterward and I would go through the motions of trying to be pastor's wife, mother, sister, wife, ...without the one thing that I was known for and that was my ability to weep with and for others. This went on so long I became angry, so angry. I didn't even understand my anger. Finally one night my precious husband got up in a mid-week service and preached on God's healing power and deliverance from the spirit of depression. I don't even remember exactly what he said that started it, but it began with one single tear drop, that ended up being a massive puddle of tears! God touched me and I can't even began to tell you how healing it was to be able to actually feel the grief and pain of losing my precious mom. I of course have no doubt she ran this race and finished her course and is now forever in the presence of God! My sister Sis. Martha Hodge wrote a very fitting song for her memorial service that spoke of her life ...and mine. It says, "I don't need a healing to trust You, I don't need a miracle to help me believe, all my life You have been faithful, I choose to walk by faith even when I can't see.... I choose to serve You till the day I die, or You split the sky and return for me, I choose to love You with my final breath, oh You used Your death to prove Your love for me, Jesus I choose You! ....God taught me through that whole process that there is Healing in Suffering. I truly believe that after all these years of living that God just needed me to know. I will forever view suffering and grief with a deeper appreciation, even though it is hard.

Me and my family met Bro. and Sis. Trimble last year at a Ed's in Hattiesburg, they are amazing people. This Episode is, in my opinion, the best yet. I cried through the entire episode, because everything Bro. Trimble said was just so true. There is a special blessing that comes when you can suffer without being offended. I enjoy listening to Kingdom Speak. It quickly became not only my favorite Apostolic podcast, but my favorite podcast in general. Every episode has something that is totally life changing for me. There is no doubt that this podcast is being used by God. God bless!

Please be Praying Still For Roxanne Thompkins She is in Stage 4 Breast Cancer And it has Made her Depressed and She has Diabetes and Neuropathy so she has A Huge Blister on the Top Of Her Foot. She can't sleep hardly At All. Thank You Sister Linda Hood

His eyes "the window" to the soul are full of anguish, yet one can feel and "the healer" Jesus close by his precious child. God be with you dear Elder 🙏

I Know I ask Every Week. If Roxanne Thompkins would be Baptized In Jesus Name And Have The Holy Ghost. I Wouldn't Worry About Her As Much.
