The Bible Is Full of Angry Questions

How is it that the one I trust can be responsible for my loss?

Seth Hanhe

New to the series? This is a bingeable podcast meant to be listened to in order. Check out Living and Effective season 2 from the beginning.

Why doesn’t God stop bad things from happening to good people? And when we sense this injustice, what is a proper response? According to psychologist Diane Langberg, it’s anger. Anger is a natural answer to injustice, in our own lives and in the lives of others.

Jonah sensed the injustice of a God who dared to forgive the sins of Ninevah. That’s not what they deserved! But just as Jonah’s anger was soothed by time and the truth, so too is ours. For more on denial and other responses to grief, check out season two of Living and Effective, available in full now.

“And now, Lord, take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.” (Jonah 4:3, CSB)

Living and Effective is produced by CT Creative Studio in partnership with the Christian Standard Bible.
