Grief has a way of shaking everything we thought we knew about God. If He is truly good, why does He allow suffering? Why does loss feel so unbearable? In today’s episode, we wrestle with these hard questions and explore the tension between God’s goodness and our pain.
You’ll hear a personal story of how a well-meaning but misguided phrase led me to walk away from church—and how God gently brought me back. We’ll dive into the book of Job, where even a righteous man questioned God in his suffering, and discover the deeper truth God revealed in response. If you’ve ever felt abandoned by God in your grief, this episode is for you.
By the end, I pray you’ll see that even when life feels unbearable, God is still good—and He is walking with you in the pain.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:- Why questioning God doesn’t mean you lack faith—it may actually strengthen it.
- How to hold onto God’s justice even when suffering feels unfair.
- The powerful way God redeems what feels meaningless in our grief.
- God is not afraid of your “why.” He invites your honesty and meets you in your pain. (Job 40:3-5)
- God’s justice is higher than ours. Even when we don’t understand, we can trust that He does. (Job 40:6-8)
- God redeems what feels meaningless. When we surrender our pain to Him, He exchanges it for something of eternal value. (Job 19:25)
