Life is full of moments we wish we could avoid—warnings, heartbreak, and ominous notes. In Luke 2:34-35, Simeon prophesies that a sword will pierce Mary’s soul, foreshadowing the pain of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice. Yet, Mary trusted God, collecting each moment like a piece of a larger puzzle. In this episode of The Carpenter’s Shop, we explore how faith means embracing both the joy and the trials, knowing that God is with us every step of the way.
