🎧 New Episode Out Now!

What happens when the faith you’ve studied is put to the ultimate test?

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with the author of A Different World: God’s Sovereignty in the Face of Suffering to discuss a family’s heartbreaking journey through chronic illness, unwavering faith, and the difficult questions suffering often brings.

After years of raising his family in rural Maine—living close to the land through homesteading, logging, hunting, fishing, and homeschooling—everything changed when his entire family became severely ill with Lyme disease and its devastating complications.

As a longtime student of theology, church elder, and Christian apologist, he discovered a profound truth: knowing the right answers about God is one thing, but trusting Him in the middle of real suffering is something entirely different.

In this episode, we discuss:

🙏 The difference between knowing about God and trusting Him

💔 Walking through chronic illness with faith

📖 Biblical truth during life’s darkest seasons

🌿 Finding hope when circumstances don’t change

❤️ Lessons learned from suffering, perseverance, and God’s faithfulness
