On this episode of Canterbury Cast, we begin a new 5-week series on The Book of James. Rev. Tori Hastings opens with James chapter 1, where the writer calls believers to live with perseverance, humility, and wisdom. James writes to people struggling with trials, temptations, and the challenges of living faithfully in a broken world; people not so different from us today. Drawing from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and the wisdom of Proverbs, James reminds us that true wisdom is more than knowledge; it’s the ability to live faithfully, even when life is hard. As Tori puts it, “People behave poorly, even though most of the time we are trying to do the best that we can.” What does it look like to live with wisdom that comes from God, especially when life tests us and our best efforts fall short?
