What happens when life doesn’t make sense… and you start questioning not just your circumstances—but God Himself?

In this episode of the Spiritual Strategies Podcast, Brittany and Eric take on two of the most difficult and honest questions believers and non-believers alike wrestle with:

Why does God allow suffering?
And why believe in God at all?

Rather than avoiding these questions, they lean into them.

Through real-life experiences, biblical truth, and thoughtful conversation, Brittany and Eric unpack the deeper reality behind pain, suffering, and the nature of God’s character. Many people assume that if God is good, life should be free from hardship—but Scripture reveals something very different.

Suffering doesn’t mean God is absent.
And “being a good person” isn’t the full story of what we were created for.

This episode challenges common assumptions and brings clarity to questions that often go unspoken. From hospital rooms to personal testimonies, the conversation explores how pain can either push us away from God—or draw us closer to Him.

Together, Brittany and Eric discuss:

• Why suffering does not originate from God—and what Scripture actually reveals
• The difference between questioning God’s character and understanding the brokenness of the world
• How faith operates in the middle of pain—not outside of it
• Why trying to define “good” on our own terms leads us away from truth
• The danger of postponing a relationship with God until “later”
• How salvation is not a negotiation after death—but an invitation during life
• What it means to respond to suffering spiritually instead of just emotionally or intellectually
• How believers can step into painful situations and bring faith, peace, and hope to others

This episode also introduces a powerful perspective:
Sometimes the goal isn’t to fully understand suffering—but to respond to it correctly.

If you’ve ever asked, “God, where are You?”
Or wondered if living a “good life” is enough—this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Because the nature of God isn’t revealed in the absence of suffering…
it’s revealed in how He meets us in the middle of it.

Join Brittany and Eric as they explore how truth, faith, and relationship with God reshape the way we view pain, purpose, and eternity.
