Where is God When Life Hurts?

We discuss what God promises to those who say, “My pain is so great. How can I trust God with what I am feeling?" How can we continue to believe God is good and loving during times of prolonged pain when it does not feel like He is there? Is it really God’s will to heal everyone who prays in faith about their sickness?

WHY WATCH
THE SHOW

Suffering often ambushes us. Things seem fine, and suddenly we get a bad report, we're thrown into grief over the loss of a loved one, or we are faced with an overwhelming amount of uncertainty.

This coronavirus pandemic and the anxiety that accompanies it is also a kind of suffering that most of us never expected. Add the recent unrest around us and it is easy to fear the suffering of what the future may bring.

In these circumstances, we may find ourselves wondering, Where is God when Life Hurts?

Guests Joni Eareckson Tada and Dr. Michael Easley are not strangers to pain and suffering. Joni has spent nearly 50 years in a wheelchair while Michael has endured numerous back surgeries and lives with chronic pain. Joni and Michael explain how they have learned to trust God in the midst of their suffering and how they continue to believe in Him as a good and loving Father.

Mission Partnerships

We believe in joining together with like-minded, Bible-based ministries to make the gospel of Jesus Christ known. This is why The John Ankerberg Show has partnered with multiple ministries in the past few years to join our unique skillset with theirs to help reach people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our partnership with Faith Comes By Hearing helps us share with those who have never heard the gospel in their native language. In the past several years, we have reached over 3.3 million people in 40 countries in 120 languages through audio Bible devices, and we can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for the future.
