Show Notes
In this episode, I want to talk honestly about what happens when pain turns into anger — when suffering doesn’t just hurt, but feels unfair.
I’ve stood in moments where grief and outrage collided — like after the Grenfell Tower fire in London — and I’ve seen how anger can be both human and holy. Scripture gives space for our cries of “How dare you, God?” and “Where were You?” — and somehow, those questions still lead us toward Him.
In Part 2 of “Where Is God in All the Suffering?”, I explore how our anger at injustice might not push us away from faith, but actually reveal the image of God within us — the part of us that knows life was never meant to be this broken. If you’ve ever carried anger — at the world, at others, or even at God — I want you to know you’re not alone. That anger can become the beginning of healing.

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?
