What is the Good that God is Working For us?

What does Romans 8:26-30 mean? More specifically what exactly does Romans 8:28 mean? These verses are often misapplied in present day American Christianity and Bryce and I break down what exactly this text is getting at. What is the good that God works together for those that are called according to his purpose and love him? Prosperity? Lack of hardship? An easy life? 

Key text: Romans 8 : 26-30
