Episode Synopsis

She thought she knew God. Then suffering came—relentless, overwhelming, and dark. In this episode of Safe to Hope, Dr. Ingrid Faro shares her journey of wrestling with evil, questioning God, and discovering a faith stronger than suffering. As we begin a season filled with hard yet necessary conversations, Dr. Faro helps us lay a foundation for understanding evil—because without that framework, we cannot fully grasp the hope that follows.SHOW NOTES:Dr. Ingrid FaroWebsite: https://www.ingridfaro.com/Evil in Genesis: A Contextual Analysis of Hebrew Lexemes for Evil in the Book of GenesisDemystifying Evil: Demystifying Evil: A Biblical and Personal ExplorationRedeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation (not yet released)Honest Answers: Exploring God Questions with Your Tween co-authored with Janelle AlbertsOther mentions:Evil and the Justice of God by N.T.
