I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts!

If we're being honest about reading the Bible as true, cover to cover, we can't just gloss over the parts that seem to make God sound bad. My faith needs to be strong enough to lean into the difficult spots and question my Creator to find an answer.

In 1 Samuel 16 we're told that God "sent an evil spirit" to torment Saul. How do we reconcile that with the God we know? Does it make sense that God would control evil spirits? That God would basically haunt someone who displeases Him to the point of mental illness, anxiety and irrational anger?

I'm wrestling with this passage today- and invite you to entertain my theory about this story. I think the notion of a "spirit of fear" that we see elsewhere in the Bible might not just be an abstract concept... but a real presence that is part of this world. See if you agree.

If God puts something on your heart as a result of this episode, PLEASE reach out. I would love for you to join the conversation with me on Instagram, Facebook or my YouTube channel.
