S7 E3 | How Can I Trust God When I Don’t Understand What He Allows?

It can be so disillusioning to process things that are breaking our heart, especially when it seems like God is not intervening. Maybe you find yourself asking questions like: When is God going to right the wrongs and bring justice to this situation? How am I supposed to believe the Lord is good in light of this? How can I trust God when the person who hurt me got away with it?In this episode, Lysa, Jim and Joel will meet you in these questions and help you begin to see that faith in God means being assured of His goodness even when what He allows doesn't feel good, seem good or look good right now.Related Resources:We'd like to thank the American Association of Christian Counselors for partnering with us to sponsor Season 7 of Therapy & Theology.

S7 E1 | I’m Afraid I’m Being Betrayed

Betrayal can come in so many different forms. Maybe a friend tells a secret you trusted them with. Or maybe your spouse is making decisions that are breaking your heart.
