48. When All Things Work Together for Good

In this episode of Wise Counsel, host Robert Smith reflects on Romans 8:28: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good.” This passage anchors us in God’s providence even amid suffering and uncertainty. Drawing on the insights of scholars like Michael S. Heiser (The Unseen Realm) and N.T. Wright (Paul and the Faithfulness of God), Robert explores how God weaves even pain and failure into His larger purposes. Along the way, we connect this truth to the endurance of the civil rights movement and even modern pop culture’s obsession with “happy endings.”
