Making Sense of Divine Destruction Stories - with Jonny

02/16/23 • 43 min

How do we make sense of divine destruction in the Bible? What distortions do we bring to the Bible that make it hard to understand? If the Bible is so complicated, why follow Jesus?

In this episode I talk with my friend Jonny who is studying the Old Testament in pursuit of a PhD. In particular, he’s studying stories of divine destruction in the Old Testament— that’s right, he’s chosen to study the uncomfortable stories that can make us question God's goodness.
Jonny's perspective was insightful and challenging. I have no doubt this chat some wisdom to offer you on your journey through doubt. Enjoy!

Every Doubter Needs to Know this Bible Story - at Sunnyside

If I had 30 minutes to tell doubting Christians what to expect on their journey through doubt, I would tell them this story from 1 Kings 19! And then I would tell them they don't have to make that journey alone.
I wish every doubter knew this Bible story. It's total honesty, paired with hope, has helped me so much on my journey through doubt, and I believe it will help you too.
Enjoy!
