Listener discretion advised: This episode contains sensitive content, including discussions of abuse and assault. In this weighty episode, Brody leans into one of the hardest questions we all face: Where is God when bad things happen? Whether it's the pain of abuse, the heartbreak of oppression, or the overwhelming brokenness we see in the world, Brody recognizes that these are not easy conversations.He speaks directly to those wrestling with the problem of evil, the suffering of the innocent, and the seeming silence of God amid injustice. Drawing deeply from Scripture, Brody unpacks stories of pain and redemption, and offers tools to help believers—both strong and struggling—navigate these hard truths. He shares the hope we find in Christ. Jesus not only understands injustice but also endured it. His death and resurrection bring both freedom for the oppressed and justice for the oppressor.Ecclesiates 4Romans 2Romans 8Send us a textPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.
