Show Notes
Every one of us, at some point, has asked it — Why is there so much suffering? Why do pain, loss, and injustice touch every story, even when we believe in a loving God?
In the first full episode of “Where Is God in All the Suffering?”, I begin with the hardest and most human question of all: Why? This episode is not about easy answers. It’s about uncovering truth, compassion, and meaning in the midst of pain — and discovering that even when life feels shattered, God has not turned away.
Episode 1: “Why” — now streaming on Spotify and YouTube. A free companion study guide will also be released soon to help you reflect and go deeper.

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.
Where is God when suffering comes through natural disasters? When earthquakes, famines, floods, and disease devastate lives, this question becomes impossible to ignore. 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.
In this episode, we turn to one of the most deeply human questions of all: Where is God when our inner world feels broken?
Illness has a way of shaking us — not only in body, but in identity, dignity, and hope. Whether it comes suddenly or slowly, sickness raises some of the hardest questions we ever ask: Why does my body fail me? Where is God when pain won’t lift? Why are some healed and others not?
