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.

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?
