In this episode, Jim and Serge Renewal team member Marc Davis tackle the profound question, "Where is God in My Suffering?" Together, they delve into the complexities of walking with God through grief and burdens, using the book of Job as a lens to invite listeners into an honest dialogue with God. Offering space for deep pain and hard questions, their conversation points us toward the transformative presence of God and the ultimate innocent sufferer—Jesus. Whether facing personal hardship or seeking deeper faith, this conversation illuminates our gospel hope and the mystery of God’s love and nearness in our darkest times.

In this episode, they discuss…

• The broader context of suffering (08:44)
• Job’s desire to speak directly to God (30:27)
• Jesus as the answer to suffering (39:13)
• Living through trouble as a child of God (47:07)
