Suffering and Faith

How can faith honestly deal with the brokenness in our world—or even just in our everyday lives? There is a way that’s more alive than either numbing ourselves with cheap clichés about God’s plan or losing our faith completely. Enel survived the collapse of a six-story building in Haiti’s earthquake, Kent has been working in places of extreme poverty for more than a decade, and they’ll share how these experiences can guide our search.
