"Where?" Is a Small Question for a Big God

"Where is God?" It may be the most elemental question a family caregiver asks when suffering becomes relentless. But "where" is a curious question to ask about an omnipresent God. Scripture tells us that He is present at the accident scene, in the operating room, at the rehabilitation center, and beside the caregiver sitting alone at the kitchen table at two in the morning. In this episode, Peter Rosenberger turns the question around. The first question God asked fallen humanity was, "Where are you?" God knew where Adam was. Adam needed to recognize where he was and why he was hiding. Drawing from his own cancer diagnosis and Gracie's decades of chronic pain, Peter explores fear, caregiver exhaustion, hypervigilance, and our attempts to control outcomes that belong to God. Being observant is not the same as being omniscient. Being responsible is not the same as being sovereign. Peter also shares the remarkable story behind "My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less" and why its promise of God's unchanging grace offers an anchor for every caregiver facing a high and stormy gale.
