Don’t Ask Why: What We Really Need When Life Hurts.

from The Bertonians · host Robert Alexander Portillo

We’ve all asked questions that don’t have easy answers. In times of loss, disappointment, or silence from God, we often wonder, “Why?” But sometimes, the most important truth isn’t found in explanations. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 10:29–30: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” This verse paints a picture of a God who pays attention to the smallest details of our lives and who offers comfort even in our darkest seasons.In this episode, Alex reflects on what it really means to experience God’s presence when life doesn’t make sense.NOTE: This homily was delivered as a word of encouragement for a memorial service.
