Is God Punishing Me? Hearing Silence & Finding Purpose

In this episode with the original gang, we tackle a question that many of us face during life's darkest moments: Is God punishing me? When the world feels like it's crumbling around us—through loss, destruction, or personal hardship—it can seem like God is silent. But what if the silence is part of a bigger plan?
 
We dive deep into:
Understanding why God might feel distant in tough times.
Reflecting on loss and destruction—is it punishment, or is there something more?
How God can take what was meant for evil and turn it for good (Romans 8:28).
Hearing God in the silence and finding hope when you feel abandoned.
Plus, we discuss the healing process, the idea of being “called” by God, and wrestle with the controversial question: Once saved, always saved—can you lose your salvation? Whether you're going through hardship or seeking answers to tough theological questions, this episode will challenge you, and make you laugh - do we have any peach milkshake fans out there?!
