Listen "Where Is God When Bad Things Happen? Finding Purpose in Suffering "
Episode Synopsis
When tragedy strikes, it can leave us asking the hardest questions: Where is God? Why does He allow suffering?
In this video, I share a personal story that’s a huge part of my testimony. It’s the anniversary of my grandmother’s murder — and I share what God has taught me through it. We also touch on the recent murder of Charlie Kirk and other tragic recent events.
We’ll talk about:
Why bad things happen in a broken world
Where God is in the midst of suffering
How He brings beauty from ashes and purpose out of pain
The hope we have in His promises and the comfort He offers us
You’ll also hear powerful scriptures that have carried me through seasons of grief, including Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 1, James 1, and Revelation 21.
Even when life feels overwhelming, God is present, He intervenes, and He redeems. My prayer is that this encourages you, strengthens your faith, and reminds you of the eternal hope we have in Jesus.
