You Tube Theology

Suffering has a way of exposing what we truly believe about God, ourselves, and the world around us. In this honest and hope-filled conversation, theologian and author Dr. Kelly Kapic joins Tim Stewart to explore how Christians can navigate grief, chronic pain, disappointment, and unanswered prayers without losing sight of God's goodness.

Drawing from both personal experience and years of research, Dr. Kapic discusses why lament is an essential part of the Christian life, how we can hold together the reality of suffering with the faithfulness of God, and why the Church must become a place where people are free to grieve honestly. Together, they examine the Incarnation as God's profound act of solidarity with human suffering, the role of community and forgiveness in healing, and how the Gospel offers more than escape—it invites us into the restoration of all things.

Whether you're walking through a difficult season yourself or caring for someone who is hurting, this conversation offers practical wisdom, theological depth, and genuine hope.
