Believing God Is Good - Even When He Promises Pain

UnPerfect - Strengthen Faith and Connect With God

God is famous for a lot of things - but some of them are hard to swallow. In this episode, we unpack some scriptures with difficult promises and our struggle with believing God is good even when he promises pain.
In this episode of the UnPerfect Podcast, You'll hear some crazy behind-the-scenes stories from my son's wedding and the wink God gave me the next morning in the depth of my exhaustion. But we'll also be looking at some examples in scripture where God led his faithful children into hard. But their absence of immediate redemption did not mean God was absent in their pain.
