God, If You Love Me, Why is This Happening? | Vaneetha Risner | Lazarus
Description
Why, God? Why haven't you shown up for me? If you love me, God, how could you let this happen to me?
In today's episode, we're going to invite you to bring questions like these straight to Jesus. And I think you might be surprised by the answers to these questions, embedded in the story from John 11 that we're going to look at.
