Stop Asking "Why Me, God?" (And Ask This Instead) | The Pursuit with James Griffin
About this episode
Why does life go crooked, and how should Christians respond when it does? In this episode of The Pursuit, James, Carlos, and Matt unpack what it means to suffer well. Instead of asking “Why me, God?” we’re called to ask, “How can You use this?” The conversation dives into lament, eternal perspective, and the danger of thinking pain is punishment. Through personal stories, biblical wisdom, and practical steps, the guys show how God uses suffering to refine our faith, grow empathy for others, and point us toward the eternal hope we have in Christ.
