Why does God allow suffering? Can pain be a gift? 

In this episode of The Well Podcast, Pastor Phil Hopper and host Les Norman dive deep into one of life’s toughest questions: How can we view suffering as something God can use for good? In some way, pain is a present that ushers us into God’s presence.

The conversation challenges common views of pain, explains why God allows suffering in a world He created good, and provides practical steps for navigating grief, including lament and finding support in community.

Pastor Phil encourages listeners not to isolate but to focus on God’s promises and the prize ahead. If you are in a season of grief and lament, be encouraged that God isn’t done writing your story! Your life is worth living because Jesus lives.
