Ep. 576 Ryan Maher: The God Worth Trusting

from Life Over Coffee · host Rick Thomas

Ryan Maher joins me to talk about one of the most pressing questions Christians face: how do you trust God when life doesn’t make sense? In this conversation, we move beyond surface-level answers and wrestle with the deeper issue—what we actually believe about God’s character when suffering enters our lives. Ryan shares his burden to confront common misconceptions about God and to help people rebuild a biblically grounded trust in Him. We also explore how distorted views of God quietly shape fear, control, and functional unbelief in everyday life. If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile God’s goodness with your experience, this conversation will challenge and help you think more clearly and trust more deeply.
