Life can be overwhelming—financial pressures, relationship conflicts, health concerns, unexpected losses. If you're a believer, you may wonder why God allows such difficulties when you're trying to live faithfully.

In this episode, Dr. Stanley addresses this honest question and reminds us that trials are not evidence of God's absence.

After Dr. Stanley's teaching, we'll move into guided prayer and reflection—a space to bring God your struggles, fears, and exhaustion.

Scriptures referenced: John 16:33; Isaiah 40:29
