E900 | Why Did God Let This Happen?

We conclude this three-part series with the biggest question of all: What do we do when we feel that God has betrayed us? John, Blaine, and Allen reveal how the enemy wants us to embrace the lie that God can't be trusted—the same tactic he used with Adam and Eve in Eden. Discover why it's essential to remember the issue isn't taking place in a neutral environment, how that affects our interpretation of the betrayal, and a surprisingly helpful practice for restoring union with God.
