Does God Plan for us to Suffer? - ft. Dr. Bryan Beyer

Jeremiah 29:11

Christians use verses about “the plans God has for us” as a way to encourage one another, but the full passages often tell much bleaker stories. How can we hope in God’s plan when it’s filled with so much suffering?

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Bryan Beyer about the dark context of Jeremiah 29:11, how God delivers justice, and how we can have hope when we face unexpected evils.
