Exploring
Questions About God
Whether there is anyone there at all.
Why Does God Allow Suffering?
If God is love and has the power to intervene, why does suffering exist? The Bible gives a way of understanding human freedom, sin, a broken creation, and why suffering does not get the final word.
ReadCan I Be Born in the Wrong Body?
What does Christianity say when your experience of gender does not seem to match your body — and would God accept you while the question is still unresolved?
ReadDoes Everything Happen for a Reason?
People often say that everything happens for a reason. But there is an important difference between something having a cause and something having a deeper purpose. Not everything that happens was meant to happen. But Christianity says God can still redeem what happens — even when we have no idea yet what that might look like.
ReadWhere Is God When I’m Suffering?
When you or I are suffering, asking why it happened is one question. But if God does exist, then where is He when I’m in the middle of it? When things are at their worst? Christians believe that God isn’t somewhere out there, at a distance, watching what happens to us. In Jesus, God entered our world and entered our suffering Himself.
ReadWhat Really Matters When Everything We Rely On Is Shaken?
Most of us discover what our lives are built around when something we rely on suddenly disappears. Christianity says God does more than understand our pain from a distance — in Jesus he entered it, and through the Holy Spirit he is present with his people within it.
