What if the Christian faith isn’t about fitting God into your life, but stepping into His story?

In this conversation, we explore with Greg Koukl the story the Bible tells from beginning to end:

Creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, and why Jesus is the central figure in history, eternity, and our personal lives.

We talk about:

• Why the world feels broken, and why we all sense it

• The problem of evil and the justice of God

• Why Jesus isn’t “one option among many,” but the only sufficient Savior

• What actually happened on the cross and why it matters

• Heaven, judgment, and the promise of restoration

• How to think about suffering, purpose, and eternity

• What it means to live inside God’s story instead of trying to write our own

This episode reminds us of the hope Christians hold, the clarity Scripture gives, and the beauty of God’s plan to rescue a world that cannot save itself.

In this moving conversation, I sit down with Sarah Stonestreet, host of The Strong Women Podcast and Director of Community Outreach at St. George’s Anglican Church, to explore the beauty, confusion, and profound hope found in walking through suffering with God.

Together we reflect on:

 Learning to trust God when life breaks your heart

 The spiritual mystery of memory and identity in dementia

 The surprising ways hymns and Scripture stay rooted in the soul

How suffering forms us into Christ’s likeness

 Finding God’s presence when the “why” remains unanswered

 Remembering that Jesus enters our pain. He wept before He healed

 The quiet power of small acts of obedience and faith

Sarah shares tender stories of walking with her father through dementia, moments of loss and also breathtaking glimpses of grace, like singing hymns together that his heart never forgot.

This episode reminds us that the Christian life is shaped not only by truth but also by tears, and that Christ meets us in both.

If you or someone you love is walking through grief, doubt, or seasons that feel heavy, we pray this conversation brings real comfort and renewed courage to trust the God who never forgets His children.

In this conversation, Dr. Paul Gould opens up about a season of deep loss, identity crisis, and unexpected waiting, and how God met him in heartbreak. We explore what happens when the life you’ve built suddenly falls apart, and how faith becomes not just an intellectual conviction, but a lived trust in Christ when nothing makes sense.

We talk about:

• Losing a sense of calling and identity

• How seasons of waiting shape our desires

• Emotional vs. intellectual doubt in the Christian life

• The danger of building identity on achievement

• Why apologetics should cultivate wonder, not pride

• Integrating heart and mind in the pursuit of God

• Learning to “lean toward God” through suffering

• Rediscovering joy, beauty, and hope in Christ

Suffering, when we have raw honesty on our walk with Jesus through uncertainty, becomes not evidence against God. It becomes the place where His nearness becomes real, and where hope is rebuilt on a truer foundation.
