It’s time for part 2 of our conversation with Mark Talbot about suffering and how God intends it for our good. They continue their discussion of Mark’s books When The Stars Disappear and Giving Me Understanding That I May Live.
Having been paralyzed since an accident when he was 17, Mark doesn’t come to the subject as a passive observer, but as an active participant. This is not a mere philosophical question or academic exercise, but the deep wrestling of a believer in Jesus trying to understand the question as to why a good God allows our suffering. It’s a question that many of us ask ourselves. Suffering is the door that for many leads to Jesus or turns them away from Jesus. How shall we view our suffering? What does God want to show us about Himself in our suffering? These are just some of the questions that they discuss.
