Faith in the Trenches: David Libby on Suffering, Strength, and God's Sovereignty

In this compelling episode of Hear Where You Belong, I sit down with David Libby—author, theologian, and seasoned Christian apologist—who has spent over 30 years as a self-employed logger in central Maine. A true pioneer in both his faith and lifestyle, David has hunted, foraged, and farmed while also diving deep into theology, philosophy, and Christian apologetics. But through personal battles with chronic illness in his family, he discovered something profound—there’s a stark difference between knowing the right answers and applying them when faith is tested in life’s darkest moments.

David is the author of A Different World: God's Sovereignty in the Face of Suffering, and his upcoming book, Apologize Without Apologizing: A Philosophical Defense of the Biblical Worldview, tackles some of the hardest questions about faith. In this episode, we explore his journey through suffering, how he found strength in God's plan, and what it truly means to trust God when everything feels uncertain.

Join us as we discuss: 🔥 Why suffering doesn’t contradict God’s goodness—but reveals His purpose. 🔥 The struggle between intellectual faith and lived experience. 🔥 Finding strength, community, and true security in God's sovereignty. 🔥 The role of apologetics in answering life’s hardest questions.

This conversation will challenge and encourage you to think about faith in a whole new way.
