What do we say when life falls apart? How do we move beyond scripted responses and engage in honest conversations? More importantly, how do we wrestle with the hard questions?
- Why did this happen to me?
- Where is God in suffering?
- Why did He allow it?
- Why do bad things happen to good people?
If you’ve ever asked these questions, you’re not alone.
In this episode, we have a deeply honest conversation about suffering. It’s different from our usual format—we’re sharing a webinar we hosted with Susan Habegger, titled What About God? The truths she presents are so powerful, we knew they needed to reach more people.
Susan has faced suffering head-on. She’s asked the same agonizing questions many of us have:
"God, why did this happen?"
"I believe in You, I serve You—why didn’t You take care of me?"
"What good could possibly come from this?"
"Why me?"
Through her journey, Susan has found clarity in the questions that so often feel unanswered. Today, she shares that insight with you.
The content from this webinar is drawn from her book, A New Song: A Journey Through Pain Toward Healing—the foundation of our Reclaimed Life Groups. Her message reminds us that God is not afraid of our questions—He already knows them. And asking them can lead us into a deeper, more honest relationship with Him. It can help us trust Him even in life’s most painful mysteries.
By the end of this episode, you’ll hear Susan read Where Is God in the Storm?—a powerful reflection on courage, strength, and peace in the midst of suffering.
If you’re unfamiliar with Susan, she is the founder of Thrive Life Skills, a nonprofit dedicated to walking alongside people in hardship, offering hope and a path forward. As an author, speaker, and teacher, she has impacted lives around the world.
We invite you to lean in, listen, and engage with this conversation. We pray it brings you comfort, clarity, and hope.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
