God is Good

from Starting Right · host DannyMac

Some mornings hit hard before you even finish your coffee. If you’ve been wondering how to reconcile a good God with a painful week, this one is for you. We open Monday with a steady reminder and a singable worship hook from Austin French’s “God Is Good” that keeps echoing long after the clip ends.We also tackle a mistake that quietly wrecks people’s faith: the belief that if God is good, Christians should never face suffering. That’s not what Scripture says. We walk through 1 Peter 4:12–19 and name the reality of trials, then ground our hope in what the Bible says about God’s character and care. You’ll hear key verses like Nahum 1:7 on God as a refuge in times of trouble, Ephesians 2:4–5 on rich mercy and saving grace, and John 3:16 as the clearest snapshot of God’s love.Along the way, we connect the song’s lyrics to real life: worry, anxiety, and those “where is God in all this?” moments. The takeaway is practical Christian encouragement you can carry into your day: when life is not good, God is still good, still near, and still worthy of your trust. If you need strength to keep going, press play and let this reset your perspective.Here is the YouTube link to God is Good.                                                                                     https://youtu.be/BM2KXVHdaP4?si=1qV41KolIcuwlkoa   We would love to hear your comments.
