Summary
Have you ever secretly wondered why it feels like some people suffer more than others? Where is God when we're going through a difficult season? And why doesn't He stop the pain we're experiencing?
We're answering all of these questions and more in this episode of Therapy & Theology. You'll hear from our resident theologian, Dr. Joel Muddamalle, as well as our special guest and friend from Compassion International, Kiwi.
No matter what you're going through, we hope this conversation blesses you as you process your own questions about God and the hardships we face on this side of eternity.
