Description
Warning: This episode discusses loss by suicide and may not be suitable for all listeners. What do we do when it comes to understanding God's role in the events of our lives? How do we interpret the pain we endure, the evil that exists in the world and God's sovereignty in it all? For author and professor of Old Testament Ingrid Faro, it was her own personal experience of pain and evil that led her to dig deeply into scripture in order to better understand how God works in the midst of suffering. Having experienced domestic abuse and divorce, a remarriage than ended when her husband died by suicide, and so much more, Ingrid began to ask questions when it came to pain and suffering and evil in our experience as humans. It was through her own story and scholarly study that she wrote Demystifying Evil: A Biblical and Personal Exploration, in which she examines the impact of evil and how to undo its power in our lives. In this episode, Aubrey and Ingrid talk about how our stories can lead us to our life's work, the power of lament and what to do in the face of evil. If you've ever struggled to make sense of the things that have been done to you, this conversation is a reminder that God can handle all our anger and questions, doubts and fears, and invites us to be honest with the pain that we are experiencing.   Website: www.ingridfaro.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ingrid.s.faro Book: Demystifying Evil: A Biblical and Personal Exploration https://a.co/d/eD5au0z Seminary Now with 25% off for Nothing is Wasted listeners: www.seminarynow.co/sampson Want to access all that Nothing is Wasted has to offer to help you in your healing journey?
