When Habakkuk asked God to intervene amid the injustice he witnessed among his people, God's answer baffled him: He was sending the Babylonians to conquer them.

In this episode, Adam, David, Corina, and Rachel dive into Habakkuk 1:5-13 to unpack God's surprising and unsettling answer to Habakkuk's complaint. Tune in to discover why we can trust God, even when we don't understand His ways—and how to move forward in faith when life is hard.

When we suffer—or watch the people we love go through hardship—it's natural to wonder, "Where is God?" The prophet Habakkuk shows us that we're not only allowed to bring our questions and pain to God—but we're also encouraged to do so.

In this episode, Adam, David, Corina, and Christina discuss how we can authentically bring our questions to God without doubting His character and control—and why faith and honest conversations with God go hand in hand.
