Why does a good God allow suffering?
Hello, hello everyone and welcome back to Saved Not Soft. What's going on everybody? Hope you guys have had a blessed week so far. Hey, I'm ready. Today I'm feeling kind of like... chill, very vibey, but also very excited because I know God is just going to speak through this episode. And I am very excited for this episode about talking about why a good God allows suffering because I tackled this topic a few months ago when a girl tagged me on a post saying, basically she was just saying, you know, I would be a sold out Christian if I just knew why God would allow suffering if he's so good. And I was like, And I kind of tackled that conversation and I wanted to bring that into a podcast episode form today. So there's one room to talk about it and two for us to like really be invited into the presence of God and experience his goodness and not just our perception of what we think good is, but actually embrace Jesus for who he says he is. So, if you do not know me, my name is Emi Moore.
I'm the host of Save Not Soft. Also, I just feel like saying this. One of my best friends, Imani, she met somebody who had like a Save Not Soft t-shirt. And she was like, oh my gosh, you watch my bestie Emi. And she's like, oh my gosh, I love her, all this stuff. And she took a video of her and she was like, hey Emi, I love Save Not Soft. And I feel like I realize I don't do this as much, but I guess I do. But it's okay. I don't even know where this came from. But anyways, my name's Emmy Moore. This is the podcast Save Not Soft. What is Save Not Soft? Save Not Soft is a catered podcast to let you know that you are heard, seen, and loved by God. You are adored by God. God loves you. He has compassion upon you.
And it's just, this podcast is supposed to be used as a tool to help you navigate the Christian lifestyle. This podcast isn't a replacement for God's word or a replacement for God's presence. Rather, it's just an opportunity for you to experience the presence of God through learning tools in scripture and prayer and fasting and community and et cetera. Amen. So I'm very blessed and happy that you guys are here and I hope you learn something very new today. That's my prayer for y'all. So let's pray. Let's set the atmosphere and let's allow God to do exactly what we want him to do, which is show up and be good, which he already is. Amen. So let's close our eyes to your heavenly father. Thank you, Jesus, God. Thank you for this day.
Thank you for fresh breath in our lungs, God. We don't take our breath for granted. We don't take our lives for granted, God. We are grateful for your presence. We are thankful that you have called us and chosen us, God. We accept you calling us out by name, Father. And God, I just ask that through this episode, Father, that you just help us navigate your sovereignty and your goodness, God. God, I just put to death all expectation of what we think good is in our version of good, in our version of sovereignty, God. God, we open our eyes, our minds, our hearts, our ears, our hands open to receive your goodness for what it truly is and not just a fabricated version manipulated and transcribed by us, God. God, we give you the pen to be the author of our ministry.
future of our purpose of everything Jesus. We give you full control, God. God, I release to you the responsibility of this podcast, Father. God, I ask that you navigate through this word and you encourage my brothers and sisters on the other side of the screen and that you meet with them a compassion and a passion and also simultaneously in order. But God, most of all, I ask that your love is the thing that arises and it's the thing that keeps us glued to your spirit. It's the spirit of love, God. Let us receive you today, God. I love how your word says we're only able to love you because you first loved us, God. So God, let us embrace and receive the love that you have for us so we can love you better and love our brothers and sisters better, God. God, I ask that you use me as a vessel, Father, that I am literally just a vessel of you, Jesus.
