Suffering is not easy, but we carry so many other things when we go through suffering. Bob and Kelly continue their journey through Paul David Tripp's book Suffering and talk about the "extra baggage" from personal suffering. Things like a loss of identity, loss of security, poor theology (thinking God is giving punishment or thinking all will get better), and unrealistic expectations.
