Broken World. Faithful God.

Understanding suffering, evil, and the hope we have in Christ.

We all feel it.

The world is beautiful—but it is also broken.

We see love, joy, laughter, and meaning… but we also see sickness, injustice, tragedy, and death. We experience moments that feel full of life, and others that leave us asking hard questions.

If God is good, why is the world like this?
If God is powerful, why doesn’t He stop it?
Will suffering ever actually end?

These are not just philosophical questions. They are personal ones. They come from hospital rooms, funerals, broken relationships, and quiet moments where life doesn’t make sense.

This series walks through the Bible’s answer—from creation to the cross to the promise of a new creation—showing not only why suffering exists, but what God has done about it and what hope we have moving forward.

🧭 The Big Picture

This series follows the full story of the Bible:

• Creation — God made the world good
• Fall — Sin fractured everything
• Redemption — Jesus entered our suffering and defeated sin
• Restoration — God will make all things new

Understanding suffering only makes sense when you see the whole story.

🙏 Final Encouragement

If you are walking through suffering right now, this series is not meant to give cold answers—it is meant to point you to a faithful God.

A God who:

• created a good world
• did not abandon it when it broke
• entered into suffering through Jesus
• and promises to restore everything that has been lost

You are not alone. Your pain is not meaningless. And this is not the end of the story.

Because in a broken world, we still have a faithful God.
