Where Are You God?

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Where are you God?” Perhaps you asked this question at a time when you were suffering or when your prayers were not being answered. Or maybe it was learning about a school shooting where many young children died innocently. Why is God silent? Why does God not intervene to stop such suffering? Why did one child die and another lived? Does this mean there is no God? In this episode we will explore these questions. We discuss the reasons why people ask this question, why suffering happens in the first place, the common responses people give to this question, and conclude with the Bible’s answer to this question. Join us for this very exciting deep dive discussion! Do you have an idea for an upcoming episode? If so, let us know by sending an email to un.believer.inbetweener@gmail.com [un.believer.inbetweener@gmail.com].
