How long, O Lord?

About this episode

Tim Anderson introduces the series Living by Faith, exploring the book of Habakkuk and the timeless question of how long God will remain silent.

Most of us have prayed prayers that felt like they went nowhere. Shouted into silence. Kept doing the right thing while quietly wondering whether God was actually listening. That's not a modern problem, it's what Habakkuk is doing from the opening lines of his book. In this introduction to our new series Living by Faith, Tim Anderson sets the stage for one of the most honest, human books in the Bible. A nation in moral collapse. Empires rising and falling around them. And a prophet who refuses to pretend everything is fine, and takes his confusion straight to God. The question Habakkuk asks is one believers have asked in every generation: how long, Lord? Kicking off the Living by Faith series through the book of Habakkuk.
