Ⲫϯ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ - Fr. Mina Ayad

Kiahk Tasbeha┃Saint Melody: St. Maximos And St. Domadios

When the heat rises, God does not always pull us out. He often meets us in the fire and burns away the chains. In Part 2 of the Witness series, Fr. Elijah explores how faithful endurance turns suffering into freedom, formation, and testimony.
What you will hear:
• Daniel 3 revisited. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego enter the furnace bound and walk out unbound. The fire has no power over them, and the Fourth is with them.
• Why God does not always remove hardship. The goal is not comfort but salvation and deeper union.
• From pain science to spiritual life. Rumination magnifies pain, while gratitude and outward love rewire the heart toward healing.
• Living martyrdom today. Schools, jobs, and family life become places of daily witness.
• Practical responses in trials. Ask “Lord, where are You in this and what are You forming in me” and practice thanksgiving in all things.
• An eternal lens. This life is a dot compared to forever. Christ joins us in every furnace.
Scripture touchpoints: Daniel 3, Job 1 and 13, Hebrews 12, 1 Peter 4, Psalm 23, 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
If you are walking through the fire, take heart. The chains are the only things meant to burn, and Christ is with you in the midst.
