Have you ever cried out, “Why would God let this happen to me?” In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest faith questions of all time: If God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow suffering?
Through the lens of Job’s story, we uncover a sobering but comforting truth: Satan doesn’t have free rein. He needs permission. Which means that even your deepest pain has passed through the hands of a sovereign, intentional God.
We’ll explore how to reconcile God’s goodness with our grief, why knowing His names helps us trust His plans, and how pride whispers, “You could do better,” when faith says, “He is still good.”
If you’re walking through loss, disappointment, or a waiting season and wondering where God is in the midst of it — this conversation will meet you there.
📖 Scripture highlights: Job 1–2, Isaiah 55:8–9, Romans 8:28 💛 Faith encouragement + truth-based theology 🎧 Tune in now — and discover how to find peace in the sovereignty of God.
