Why is God punishing me?

Why is God punishing me? Or is it discipline? Why does suffering happen to me or the people I care about most? These are questions many Christians wrestle with, especially during tough seasons.  

In today's episode of Faithful Disciples, we'll dive into God's character—His justice, His love, and His purpose in allowing trials. We'll explore the difference between punishment and discipline, looking at scripture like Deuteronomy 32:4, Hebrews 12:10-11, and Job's story of suffering. By the end, you'll have a better understanding of why God operates the way He does and how to remain steadfast in your faith even when He feels far away (hint: He’s closer than you think).  

I also share my personal testimony of how God transformed my life through suffering, turning a painful battle with cancer into a testimony of His grace and purpose.  

Join me as we discover how to trust God during hardships, focus on His heavenly kingdom, and experience the joy, peace, and hope that only come through faith in Jesus Christ.
