About this episode

The episode explores the questions of trust in God amidst suffering and unmet expectations, referencing the Farewell Discourse in John.

In life, we all experience unmet expectations, natural suffering, and even human evil. When it happens, we all ask the same question: Why? Why did you let this happen, God? Why should I trust you, God? The disciples were asking the same questions when they faced the death of their hero and the end of their movement. Jesus answered their questions with the Farewell Discourse in John, starting with a deep and rich theology of the nature of God.
