Episode 117: Insights on Unbearable Burdens


Listen Later

In today's Insights episode, Christa reflects on the moving two-part testimony shared by Kate Robinson, responding to listener comments and diving into how God mets us in our darkest moments. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 1:8–9, she explores the tension between unbearable suffering and the God of all Comfort.

Christa shares heartfelt encouragement for those asking, “How can God be good when life feels so unfair?” - pointing us back to Eden, the reality of sin, and the comfort of Christ’s presence. If you’re walking through grief, pain, or feeling burdened beyond what you can bear, this episode offers truth, hope, and a gentle prayer just for you.
