In this episode of He Hears Even the Cricket in the Corner, Sam and Cricket dive deep into the difficult question: Why does God allow tragedy, and how should we navigate it as believers? Using John 16:33, they discuss how trials are inevitable in this fallen world, but God’s presence, peace, and purpose remain constant.
Through personal testimonies, biblical wisdom, and real-life struggles, they explore how fear, suffering, and tragedy can be opportunities to draw closer to God rather than pull away. How can we shift our perspective from hopelessness to faith? What does God’s Word say about enduring hardship?
Join the conversation and reflect: How do you handle tragedy, and how can you trust God more in difficult seasons?
Main Scriptures:
- John 16:33 – "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
- Psalm 62:8 – "Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge."
- 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 – "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
✨ Challenge: In the midst of suffering, pray for perspective and ask God to reveal His presence and purpose in your life.
Listen now and be encouraged that God is still working, even in the hardest moments.
