About this episode

This episode explores the question of God's presence during times of pain and loss through the story of Lazarus.

When loss, grief, or unanswered prayers make it feel like God is distant, it can leave us questioning where He is and if He truly cares. Join us as we walk through the story of Lazarus and discover how Jesus meets us in our pain, reveals His presence even in the silence, and shows that death and loss do not have the final word.
