Does God Really Love Us If He Doesn’t Fix Everything?

This week on Chocolate Cake Bytes, I get real about one of the trickiest questions in our faith: If God truly loves us, why doesn't He just fix things? You know those moments—the ones filled with heartbreak, pain, or just plain unfairness—when you've pleaded for a miracle and wondered why it didn't come. I share some of my personal journey through a year of growth and challenges, and invite you into a conversation about God’s love, agency, and the lessons hidden in our hardest experiences.Drawing from stories like my sister Annette's battle with a traumatic brain injury, I wrestle with the tough reality: sometimes painful things happen that have nothing to do with our choices. Why does God allow that kind of suffering? Is agency the only answer—or is there something deeper at play? What if the purpose of life isn’t comfort, but growth and connection that reaches beyond mortality?Let's dig into what it means to be loved by a God who lets us struggle, and how those struggles might actually be preparing us for something greater. I’d love to hear your thoughts—do you agree, disagree, or have your own insight? Email me at [email protected], and let’s keep the conversation going. And before you go, think about: who do you know who might need some chocolate cake (and a little encouragement) today?Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
