The Hard Questions with Dr. Greg Batchelor & Pastor Trey Allison A 5-Part Series | The Off Duty, On Mission Podcast Pain has a way of making us ask questions we never thought we'd have to ask: Where is God? Does He care? Why didn't He stop this? In this powerful pastor panel discussion, Dr. Greg Batchelor and Pastor Trey Allison wrestle with one of the hardest questions of the Christian faith. Together, they explore what Scripture teaches about suffering, God's presence in our darkest moments, and how believers can hold onto hope when life doesn't make sense.
