Description

Have you ever found yourself asking, "Why did God allow this?" Whether you're walking through grief, trauma, or unanswered prayers, this question can weigh heavy on your heart. In this episode of Affirming Truths, Christian Mental Health Coach Carla Arges reminds us that it's okay to wrestle with God, but we don't have to stay stuck in the "why."

Through Scripture, encouragement, and her own experiences, Carla explores how God's character never changes—even in suffering—and how shifting from "Why, God?" to "Where is God in this?" can bring peace, perspective, and healing. If you've ever felt buried by pain, this conversation will help you lean into trust and see God's goodness in the midst of struggle.
