Show Notes
When we lose someone we love, the world itself can feel like it’s lost colour and sound. The ache of absence reminds us that we were made for deep connection — and that our longing for what’s eternal is no illusion.
In Part 3 of “Where Is God in All the Suffering?”, I explore grief — not as weakness, but as sacred evidence of love. From Jesus weeping at His friend’s tomb to the promise of every tear being wiped away, we’ll ask what our sorrow reveals about who we are, and where God is in the middle of it all. If you’re walking through loss, or standing beside someone who is, I hope this conversation brings comfort, meaning, and a glimpse of hope that endures.

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?
