Dan Miller continues the Questions You Weren't Supposed to Ask in Church series by tackling one of the most common—and most unsettling—questions many Christians eventually ask: Why doesn't God perform big miracles anymore? From the parting of the Red Sea to raising the dead, the Bible is filled with spectacular divine interventions. But if God is unchanging, why don't we see those kinds of miracles today? Dan examines the most common Christian response—that God still performs miracles every day in small ways—and explores why that answer often fails to satisfy people wrestling with doubt.

In this episode, Dan argues that the "small miracles" explanation creates deeper theological problems than it solves. If God chooses to miraculously heal one person while millions continue to suffer, what does that say about God's goodness? And if miracles are reduced to finding a parking spot or arriving at school pickup on time, does that diminish rather than magnify God's power? Drawing on his experience as a former pastor and on questions from listeners, Dan explores how this issue has led many people to rethink their understanding of God, the Bible, and faith itself.
