Is there a God? Why does God allow suffering? Is the Bible reliable? We’re here to explore some of life’s most challenging questions and offer a space for open, honest conversation. Our podcast is dedicated to a topic that’s as old as humanity itself: suffering. A story as old as any. People and their struggles, death and tragedy, war and famine. Is that all there is? These are all inevitable, so why aren’t we equipped or taught about what to do with suffering? Why are we often suffering alone? And very importantly, why aren’t we comfortable talking about our suffering with others, and why are they not comfortable talking about it? This podcast is hopefully a place where you can feel understood in some way. Even if it’s through my sharing and the sharing of others, I hope it also inspires you to share with someone you trust and know cares, and to express, pray, and talk about our struggles more.
