Why Christianity Still Makes Sense When Life Hurts with Dr. Paul Gould



In this conversation, Dr. Paul Gould opens up about a season of deep loss, identity crisis, and unexpected waiting, and how God met him in heartbreak. We explore what happens when the life you’ve built suddenly falls apart, and how faith becomes not just an intellectual conviction, but a lived trust in Christ when nothing makes sense.


We talk about:


• Losing a sense of calling and identity

• How seasons of waiting shape our desires

• Emotional vs. intellectual doubt in the Christian life

• The danger of building identity on achievement

• Why apologetics should cultivate wonder, not pride

• Integrating heart and mind in the pursuit of God

• Learning to “lean toward God” through suffering

• Rediscovering joy, beauty, and hope in Christ


Suffering, when we have raw honesty on our walk with Jesus through uncertainty, becomes not evidence against God. It becomes the place where His nearness becomes real, and where hope is rebuilt on a truer foundation.
