  • How Can I Trust God When He Allows So Much Pain? | Ask Dr. Betters - Deconstructing One's Faith

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I was homeschooled and involved in the local church, considered a good kid. During the pandemic, I was isolated and lonely and I discovered a whole other world of beliefs. I question everything about God. Our world is so messed up, so many terrible things happen, including friends who have died from drugs and one who even committed suicide. You say God is sovereign and I can trust Him. But how can I trust a God who doesn’t stop pain? Sometimes I wonder if there is even a God."

    Dr. Chuck Betters, drawing from his own faith struggles—especially the tragic loss of his sixteen-year-old son, Mark—has assisted countless individuals facing similar challenges over more than five decades of ministry. He finds hope in the belief that God is sovereign and can be trusted.

    In a world filled with brokenness and despair, "Ask Dr. Betters" is a unique video forum where Dr. Betters and his guests provide clear, biblical answers to life’s pressing questions about suffering and living by faith in a broken world.

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I grew up as a church kid, my parents were leaders in the church. The church was like a second family.
