![Where is God in my pain? [So, what about… The Holy Spirit, pt 6]](https://www.yourcrosscreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/part6-1080x675.jpg)
Suffering is a primary part of what it means to be human. No matter what we do to avoid it, ignore it, or overcome it… suffering is always right beside us. So, where is God in our pain? And even more, what can we do about it?

We believe pain and suffering are real, and the questions about WHY it’s such a part of our human condition deserve a real answer. We do our best in this episode to give an explanation for its purpose. But we also want to have this to be a start of the conversation. And you can be involved. Take it further by sending us your comments & questions (info@yourcrosscreek.com), using the study questions with a friend, and listening to the next 5 messages in this series.
Covered in this week’s session of “So, what about…” Part 4: What about Evil & Suffering? Every belief system has to answer the question of evil and suffering. How do some of the major religious explain evil and suffering? We’ll cover those, and contrast Christianity’s answer. (Hint: it has to do with Jesus.)
