When everything in your life is falling apart and God feels absent, where is He? In this episode, we explore the hardest question believers face during suffering and find comfort in Scripture's promises. Through the examples of Job, David, and Jeremiah, we discover that God does His deepest work in our darkest seasons. More importantly, we see how Christ's substitutionary death and imputed righteousness mean our suffering is never punishment - because He already bore it all. If you're walking through darkness right now, this message reminds you that God hasn't abandoned you, His mercies are new every morning, and you're secure in Christ's finished work.
