Does God Care When We Hurt?

If God is loving, why do we experience so much pain?

It's one of the oldest and most personal questions anyone can ask. Whether it's grief, illness, disappointment, anxiety, or the loss of someone we love, suffering has a way of making us wonder if God is really there—or if He really cares.

In this episode of 10 Questions, we explore the question: “Does God Care When We Hurt?” Drawing from Rebecca McLaughlin's 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) About Christianity and the hope of Scripture, we look at what the Bible says about suffering, God's heart for those who are hurting, and the hope found in Jesus Christ.

We'll discuss:

Why the Bible doesn't ignore or minimize human suffering?

What Jesus' own life and death reveal about God's compassion?

Why pain exists in a world created by a good God?

How the cross demonstrates God's love for broken people?

The hope Christians have that one day God will make all things new.

This episode doesn't offer easy answers or clichés. Instead, it points to the God who enters our pain, walks with us through it, and promises that suffering will not have the final word.

If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of your hurt, this conversation is for you.
