Shame is the unshakable feeling that we don’t belong, tempting us to run away from God and his people. Shame can be tied to something done to us, something we have done, or something we have continued to do. As hard as it is to open up about shame, it's even harder to address in the church. Pastor Mike dares us to cross that line and show what can happen when a Christian community learns to deal with shame.

When life is hard and it doesn't feel like God is doing enough to relieve us of the pain, we start to question God and his love for us. But, Pastor Mike warns, to do that is exactly what the devil wants. Instead, we can follow the example of a man named Job who suffered a level of pain and loss we can't begin to imagine. How can we respond like Job in the face of our darkest moments? Part 2 of 2. ** Program note: This is the radio edit of our program!

If God has the power to end all our pain and provide answers for all the hurt we've been through, why doesn't he? Why does he let bad things happen to good people? Pastor Mike takes these often-asked questions, flips them, and challenges us to examine our motives: Why do we love God? Or do we just love his blessings?

Seriously, God? This Is Why God Lets Me Suffer? Part 2 (radio edit)

Pop quiz: The book of Job is about _____? Pastor Mike's answer might surprise you. In fact, it almost resulted in Amber getting into a car accident. Pastor Mike and Amber Albee Swenson give us the goods behind May's sermon series, "Seriously, God?" which looks at the book of Job. They talk about why there's pain in life, why many of us tend not to comfort friends during times of tragedy, how the book of Job is a massive warning about what happens when we insist on asking why, and the reminders we can look to in order to remember that God is big. Amber mentions this month's $100,000 Challenge Grant! Thanks to some generous friends of our ministry, your financial gift will go twice as far to reach more people with God’s grace and truth when paired with the grant. When you give, we’ll send you Amber's new book, “You Can Trust God When Life Hurts.” This encouraging resource takes you example by example through the Bible to reveal how God always comes through when his people trust him in their pain. Get your copy with your gift to our $100,000 Challenge Grant at timeofgrace.org.
