Where is God in all the Suffering? When pain, injustice, and loss seem overwhelming, this question brings us to the heart of the Christian faith. In this final session of Where Is God in All the Suffering?, Amy Orr-Ewing explores the uniqueness of Jesus — not as a distant observer of suffering, but as the one who enters into it. Drawing on Scripture, prophecy, and theology, she reveals how the story of Jesus is centred on a God who willingly suffers for humanity.

In this session of Where Is God in All the Suffering?, Amy Orr-Ewing explores the challenge of natural suffering — not caused by human choice, but by the forces of the natural world itself. Drawing on real examples, science, Christian theology, and Scripture, she asks whether our understanding of God can make sense of a world where the very processes that sustain life can also bring destruction.
Where is God when suffering is caused by the violence and evil of others? When children are abused, when women are violated, when war and cruelty devastate lives, this question becomes impossible to ignore.
