Listen "Can I Ask That? | Is God Mean, Angry, or Violent?"
Episode Synopsis
This season on the Next Steps podcast, host Christian Eggers sits down with our teaching pastors for the Can I Ask That? series. On Sundays, we’re exploring some of the biggest questions people have about faith—but there’s never enough time to cover them all. That’s why, here on the podcast, we’re digging deeper into more of those big, honest questions.In this episode, Christian talks with Pastor Chris Kopp about one of the most challenging questions people ask about God: Is He mean, angry, or violent? Together they explore difficult Old Testament passages, the violence of the cross, and the tension between God’s justice and love. Chris shares from his own journey and offers practical ways to approach troubling parts of Scripture, always pointing us back to Jesus as the clearest picture of God and reminding us that doubts can deepen faith.Referenced Resources: Can I Ask That?
