Ep 85: Restful in the Tension (GH)

How do we wrestle with God in suffering without losing faith? In this Greenhouse discussion, Brian Fisher and Kyle Moody continue the conversation from Episode 84 by exploring what it means to become restful in the middle of spiritual tension. Together they discuss hard Bible passages, unanswered questions, suffering, Christian clichés, Job, Jacob, and the danger of rushing too quickly to phrases like “God is good all the time” or “His ways are higher than ours.” The conversation considers why many Christians feel afraid to question God honestly, especially when they are angry, confused, disappointed, or in pain. Brian and Kyle reflect on how real spiritual maturity often comes not by avoiding tension, but by entering it with God and trusted community.

Wrestling with God in Suffering

The journey to the somewhat elusive “peace that passes understanding” promised in Scripture involves more than quoting Bible passages and Christian euphemisms. It includes struggle, suffering, and periods of intense wrestling with God and (sometimes) ourselves.

Brian and Kyle head back into the Greenhouse to further break down Episode 84 and discuss how to find rest even in the middle of inevitable tension.

This episode continues the discussion from Ep 84.

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.
