  Where is God When Everything Falls Apart?

  Aug 31, 202620 min

  At several points in the Psalms, we encounter the writers crying out to God from a difficult situation. They, like us, experience things in life that cause use to raise not only prayers but questions of God: Where are you? Why is this happening? So, how should we respond in situations or seasons like that? Where is God and what is He doing when it feels like everything is falling apart? Join guest BTS host Dayne Logan and Ridge Director of Discipleship and Formation Will Herron as they discuss these questions and more on this week’s Beyond the Sermon.
