We examine what Scripture actually teaches about the situations many of us face: loss, grief, financial difficulties, broken relationships, health problems, and the many other trials that God's Word addresses with hope and truth. This is biblical truth for people navigating loss, pain, and life's challenges while searching for hope, meaning, and God's presence.

Meeting People Where They Are

"The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on Me, because Jehovah has anointed Me to bear good news to the poor one. He has sent Me to bind up the broken of heart, to proclaim liberty to captives, and complete opening to the ones being bound; to call out the acceptable year of Jehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all those mourning; to appoint to the mourning ones of Zion, to give them beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of the spirit of infirmity, so that one calls them trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, in order to beautify Himself." - Isaiah 61:1-3

Questions & Answers

Every Sunday includes a live Open Forum where you can ask biblical questions related to your struggles. Here are some common questions from hurting people and pastoral responses.

How can God's love be real when I'm facing so much pain and difficulty?
We examine what Scripture actually teaches about God's love being independent of our circumstances. The Hebrew word 'ahava shows God's covenant love that never changes, even when life is difficult.
Where was God when tragedy happened?
We look at biblical examples of people who asked this same question and how God responded. Sometimes God's presence is most real in our darkest moments, even when we can't feel it.
How do I trust God when I can't see His plan?
Trust is not about understanding God's plan but about understanding God's character. We explore what Scripture reveals about who God is when everything else is uncertain.
Why doesn't God answer my prayers?
We examine biblical examples of unanswered prayer and what the original languages teach us about God's timing, His ways, and His purposes in our waiting.
