When Suffering Becomes Calling – Dylan Mandell, Pastor Joby Martin & Denny Thompson

In this episode of Built 4 More, Dylan Mandell joins Pastor Joby Martin and Denny Thompson for a powerful and hope filled conversation about unwavering faith and a life fully surrendered to God.

Dylan faced cancer four times, but his story is not one of doubt or drifting faith. It is a testimony of a young man whose confidence in God only deepened through suffering. Pain did not cause him to question God’s goodness. It revealed it. Each battle stripped away self reliance and strengthened his trust in God.

This episode explores what it looks like to live with unshakable hope, to believe God’s promises without needing clarity, and to walk forward knowing that purpose is often formed through hardship. They talk about identity in Christ, the power of surrender, and why suffering does not stop God’s plan but often sharpens it.

This is an encouraging and faith filled reminder that God is present in every trial, that endurance produces strength, and that a life anchored in Christ can stand firm no matter how many storms come.

If you are facing adversity, walking through pain, or needing a reminder that real faith does not waver when life gets hard, this episode will strengthen you.
