The world feels that way right now. School shootings devastate communities, leaders are struck down, and the headlines remind us that evil is alive and loud. But what if Christians were called to respond differently—not with panic or despair, but with lament, prayer, and unshakable hope?\n\nIn this episode, Pastor Dave takes us straight into the tension of living in a world broken by sin. We wrestle with the hard questions: Where is God when tragedy hits? What do we do when evil seems to win? And how can the gospel steady our hearts when fear threatens to overwhelm?\nGrab your Bible, maybe some tissues, and a cup of coffee. Today’s conversation is about responding to violence not with fear—but with faith."}
