"Where is God?"

It may be the most elemental question a family caregiver asks when suffering becomes relentless. But "where" is a curious question to ask about an omnipresent God. Scripture tells us that He is present at the accident scene, in the operating room, at the rehabilitation center, and beside the caregiver sitting alone at the kitchen table at two in the morning.

In this episode, Peter Rosenberger turns the question around. The first question God asked fallen humanity was, "Where are you?" God knew where Adam was. Adam needed to recognize where he was and why he was hiding.

Drawing from his own cancer diagnosis and Gracie's decades of chronic pain, Peter explores fear, caregiver exhaustion, hypervigilance, and our attempts to control outcomes that belong to God.

Being observant is not the same as being omniscient. Being responsible is not the same as being sovereign.

Peter also shares the remarkable story behind "My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less" and why its promise of God's unchanging grace offers an anchor for every caregiver facing a high and stormy gale.

Caregivers live with questions that medicine cannot answer. Where is God in this? Can He be trusted? Does suffering have meaning? How long can I keep doing this?

In this episode, Peter Rosenberger explains why theology is not merely an academic subject for pastors and professors. It belongs at the hospital bedside, in the waiting room, and in the kitchen at two in the morning. What we believe about God shapes what we believe about ourselves, what we attempt to carry, and where we stand when everything around us changes.

The episode closes with an unexpected story and a deeply personal musical reflection on grief, faith, and offering the best of what we have.

After nearly six decades of quadriplegia and chronic pain, Joni Eareckson Tada speaks with uncommon clarity about suffering, hope, caregiving, and the daily grace that sustains when life does not get easier.

In this conversation about her new book, Keeping Faith When Life Hurts, Joni explains why Christian hope sustains us when normal is not returning and why, despite her weariness, she refuses to retire.
