About this episode
Johanna Derry Hall discusses the presence of God in human suffering and struggle.
The weekly message from Community Church Edinburgh. This talk is from Sunday, 14th Jun 2026. What happens to our faith in the midst of struggle and suffering? How can struggle change our understanding of God? From the Old Testament to the present day people of faith have found God to be with them in their struggle and suffering – though perhaps not always in the ways they might expect. As we continue our series The Struggle is Real: Being Fully Human in a Broken World, Johanna shares stories of how people encountered God in their suffering and offers ways that we might too.
