New Beginnings & Hard Questions: Why Does God Allow Suffering?

As we step into a new year on Rooted and Raw, we begin with reflections on New Year’s resolutions and fresh starts. But we also pause to wrestle with a question that weighs heavy on many hearts: Why does God allow suffering, especially to good people?In this episode, we share openly about pain, faith, and the tension between trusting God and not understanding His ways. It’s a gentle yet honest conversation for anyone entering this year carrying unanswered questions, seeking clarity, or holding onto hope—while staying deeply anchored in God’s truth.Rooted and Raw Crew:DeAndra BowieSherita BrooksFlora De La CruzTamara HewettStephanie BoegelJaemi SerranoSpecial Thanks to DNT for the original music.
