“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.”

In modern life, unexpected challenges like losing a job or facing a difficult situation can feel like being hit with a brick. Instead of losing faith, practicing resilience and focusing on what you can control can help navigate through tough times. For example, if a project at work fails, instead of giving up, you can reflect on what went wrong, learn from the experience, and adapt your approach for future success.

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,

Romans 5:3-4 speaks about how facing trials can produce perseverance, character, and hope. This aligns with the Stoic idea of not losing faith when faced with challenges, but rather finding the courage to endure and grow stronger through adversity.
