Why Does a Good God Allow Suffering? // Jeff Brodie // Honest To God (Part 1)
Why does a good God allow suffering? It's the question every pastor gets asked, and usually there's a bigger question underneath it: does God still love me when my life falls apart? In this message, Jeff Brodie kicks off a new series called Honest to God by walking through Romans 5, where the apostle Paul, a man who was beaten, imprisoned, and shipwrecked for his faith, writes about suffering from experience, not theory. Jeff unpacks what it actually means to find endurance, character, and hope in the middle of pain that doesn't resolve, and shares a personal story about a door he thought God opened, only to watch it close. This isn't a tidy message. It's an honest one about what it looks like to trust God when nothing about your circumstances makes that easy.
