I don't believe that hardship and problems were tests from God.
It's just what you normally hear from faithful believers.

If I were God I would never give my children problems.
I will even help them every time they get into trouble.
I would never test them or their faith.
I will not be that insecure as a God.

The reason may be because they are given problems is because they are worshiping the wrong God.
Or maybe you should not be worshiping.
But the real problem being a church centered person is not about tests from God.
It is not even about God.

It is all about balance.
Life will be in an imbalance when you are church centered.
You also judge people easily.
You become self righteous.
Your priorities will become unrealistic and idealistic.
This will cause your life to spin out of balance.
Your family, co-workers and friends must be in the same church with you or else.
