Christmas Proves God's Goodness

Did you know that God planned Christmas before He created the world? In this special Christmas episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob Rienow shares a powerful message about the love, sovereignty, and redemptive plan of God—one that was in motion before Genesis 1:1 and fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ.

Rob walks through one of life's most painful and difficult questions: "If God loves me and is all-powerful, why does He allow pain and suffering?" With deep biblical insight and personal testimony, he shows how the message of Christmas offers both the answer and the hope we need.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

- How God planned redemption before the world began

- Why suffering doesn't mean God is absent or powerless

- What Joseph's story reveals about God's providence and purpose

- How Christmas proves that pain is not the end of the story

- Why we can trust God even when we don't understand our circumstances
