When suffering strikes, where is God? In this conversation, Rev. Paul Ipema and Jared Luttjeboer explore one of faith's most pressing questions: how a sovereign God can be both in control and deeply compassionate in the midst of our pain. Moving beyond easy answers, they examine how the doctrine of the Fall reframes our expectations, why the cross reveals God's character in suffering, and how pastors can minister to those in pain without pretending to have all the answers. Drawing on Tim Keller's insights, this episode offers a pastoral perspective on holding together divine sovereignty and human responsibility, especially when life doesn't make sense. Whether you're walking through hardship yourself or seeking to support others in their struggles, this discussion provides biblical wisdom for navigating suffering with honesty and trust in God's redemptive purposes.
