Episode #133: A Conversation about Suffering
In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin are discussing the reality of the suffering we face in this life. There are a lot of misconceptions regarding suffering. One of the biggest ones is that people think their suffering comes as a punishment for their sins. Some other people think that the absence of their suffering comes because of their faithfulness to God. Neither of these things are true.
Suffering exists in this world because the world is broken and sinful. It has been since the day Adam and Eve rebelled against God. It will be until the day that Jesus returns. However, in the meantime, Jesus has already taken on the total sum of humanity's sins on the cross. We have a Savior who suffers with us and for us.
In this conversation, Aaron and Kevin also get really practical at the end helping us to think through how to help other people when they are suffering, and how we should go about understanding our own suffering.
We hope you enjoy it!
