This question has been raised from questioners like you and I since the beginning of time. What is the concrete answer?

This is my "why."

The One who is Fiery Love, came down to warn us all about the harsh consequences of sin. The Fiery Judge which happens to be our Father, did not leave us in the dark about where we could perhaps reach out, and find the One safe haven from emotional trauma.

It is said: "the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." (2 Corinthians 3:6)

"Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God." 

(1 John 3:21)

An apologetic response towards those whom are struggling with God confidence.

The title chosen describes this episode sufficiently.

In this episode, Ben and Aina talk about their marriage and some of the challenges they've been through. Aina reflects on her miscarriage,  and how that experience led her to do a home birth in Slovakia.  Ben discusses his role in their family's moving to and fro, and how they've had to lean on their King's Word to make sense of things. 

In this second episode with Mitch, we break down what it means to be human - and how the answer will define our earthly purpose. We discuss spiritual victory, (that life is more than doing), and the heavenly Promise that God is always coming after us. 

In this episode, I had the privilege of talking to Mitch Peterson who grew up in a Lutheran church, confessed Lutheran doctrine, but has since walked away from his childhood religion. We contrasted ideas about trials, spirituality, visions, and the afterlife. 

In this episode I've invited one of Victoria, Minnesota's own (Nikolai Charchenko) onto the podcast with the aim of getting deep.  We explore the challenges involved with being a hockey player in a world devoid of Truth, as well as where a weak sinner can find mercy in his time of need. 

In the second part of my conversation with Austin, we unpack how to discern lies in Light of God's Promises - and why it's important to invite + warn. "Keeping our friends close, and our enemies closer" was not God's command. "Loving our enemies more than ourself is the challenge we all face." Is it possible to love any human if you're unwilling to share the Truth with them?
