About this Episode

What do you do when your dream and reality don’t line up? When suffering makes you wonder if you did something wrong—or if God has forgotten you?

In this week’s episode of Deepen, Pastor Joby Martin, Pastor Ryan Britt, and Jonathan Vinke wrestle with the big questions: Why do bad things happen? What does it mean to trust God in suffering? And what’s the difference between asking God questions—and questioning who He is?

From Elijah’s journey in 1 Kings 17 to the tears of Jesus with Mary and Martha, this episode is raw, hopeful, and deeply needed. If you’ve ever prayed, “I believe, help my unbelief,” this conversation is for you.
