In this episode of
#GOTDialog, we step into one of the most difficult and often avoided questions in Christianity – How do we reconcile a loving God with the anger, violence, and judgment we see in the Bible, especially in the Old Testament?
Hosted by Pastor Andy Yeoh of Generations Church and joined by Kanesh Varmaa, this conversation features
Dr. Kyle Essary, a biblical studies lecturer and Old Testament scholar, as we wrestle honestly with questions many believers and skeptics alike carry but rarely voice.
From the flood narrative and stories of divine judgment, to the book of Job and the problem of suffering, this episode doesn’t offer quick answers or clichés. Instead, it creates space for tension, curiosity, and thoughtful reflection, acknowledging both emotional pain and intellectual struggle.
This isn’t about defending God at all costs. It’s about understanding His character more deeply, asking bette and necessary questions, and learning how faith and doubt can exist together.Key questions we explore:
- Why does God appear angry, jealous, or violent in the Bible?
- Is the God of the Old Testament different from the God of the New Testament?
- Why does God allow suffering and evil, even to good people?
- How should Christians respond to hard questions instead of dismissing them?
- What do we hold onto when faith feels shaken?
If you’ve ever felt disturbed by certain Bible passages, struggled with suffering, or wondered whether Christianity can withstand honest questions, this conversation is for you.Come listen. Sit with the tension. And join us as we keep it real, raw, and relevant.
