Does God Work All Things Together for the Good? with N.T. Wright and Kate Bowler

Part three: • Does God Work All Things Together for... Part four: • Comfort and Hope for the Future of th... Scripture can become a weapon in the hands of the ultra-certain. As if every pain or suffering is part of “God’s divine plan.” So how should we understand and apply the Bible to our real lives with our real-life problems? NT Wright, a New Testament scholar, is a trusted expert to help us understand what truths resound across time and circumstance and which don’t. In this conversation, Kate and Tom dig in especially on Romans 8:28 which is the Pauline version of EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. Is that what Paul intended to say? Is there maybe another, more life-giving way to interpret it instead? Kate and NT Wright also discuss: * The importance of lament as a response to the human condition * Why we have such a low tolerance for uncertainty * Which scripture to turn to when life comes apart (and which to avoid) * What our response should be to others who are in pain or experiencing tragedy This is a bit of a Bible-nerd out, but I would trust no one else to help us better make sense of where is God when we’re suffering than NT Wright.
