Ep 89: Suffering Well (GH)

What happens when we suffer alone? In this Greenhouse discussion, Brian Fisher, Kyle Moody, and Dr. Tim Boswell continue the conversation from Episode 88 by exploring suffering, authenticity, community, and the slow work of becoming more like Jesus. Each of them reflects on recent seasons of pain, including physical illness, family struggles, financial pressure, uncertainty, and concern for children. The conversation considers how modern Christian communities sometimes respond to suffering with quick verses, easy answers, or spiritual clichés. While Scripture is true and deeply important, pain often needs more than a Romans 8:28 “bomb.” It needs presence, compassion, honesty, lament, and people willing to sit with us in the ache.

Is God Partial? Spiritual First Class and the Love of God | Ep 146

What if you believe God loves everyone equally, but somewhere deep in your heart, you’re not so sure? In Episode 146, Brian explores the hidden idea that God is partial—that some people receive greater affection, access, or favor because they are more successful, useful, disciplined, or spiritually mature. We’ll examine how this idea surfaces through performance, suffering, comparison, spiritual celebrity, and our relationships with others—and how deep discipleship invites us to experience God’s love as a gift rather than something we earn.
