What If God Is Better Than You Were Taught? | Pillay Place Podcast Episode 15

What if some of the most common things we believe about God… just aren’t true?In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Rahul and Van Pillay unpack deeply held assumptions many of us carry—especially around suffering, disappointment, and unanswered prayers. From illness and failure to faith after heartbreak, this episode gently challenges the idea that God causes pain to teach us lessons.Rahul brings theological clarity rooted in Scripture, while Van shares vulnerably from her own experience with failure, shame, and emotional shutdown after disappointment. Together, they explore how misunderstanding God’s character can quietly harden our hearts—and why clarity actually restores hope.“If illness is hurting you… it’s not from God.”“Just because God rescues you doesn’t mean He caused the fire.”This isn’t about denying pain or oversimplifying life—it’s about seeing God clearly so healing, trust, and growth become possible again.If you’ve ever wondered:Did God let this happen?Why didn’t He stop it?What if my faith feels blocked?This episode is for you.To listen to episode 5 on Why is there evil?
