Why It’s Okay to Question God: What the Bible Says About Grief and Faith

Episode Description / Show Notes:
In this vulnerable episode of Let's Talk About Why, I’m stepping away from our scheduled conversation to share something deeply personal.

After experiencing several major losses over the past two years, I’ve found myself wrestling with deep grief and big questions.

Today, we’re talking about why questioning God in seasons of grief is not a sign of weak faith, but an invitation into deeper relationship.
Together, we’ll look at Scripture and see how Job, David, and even Jesus asked hard, honest questions, and how God met them with compassion, not condemnation.

If you’re grieving, struggling, or sitting in a season of unanswered prayers, I pray this episode reminds you:
You are not alone.
Your faith is not weak.
And God is closer than you think, ven when the questions feel bigger than the answers.

Scriptures referenced:

• Job 3:11; Job 19:7
• Psalm 13:1–2
• Matthew 27:46
• Psalm 34:18
