Description

Where is God in the midst of the absurdity of life? Every one of us have experienced loss, hurt, pain and injustice and at times, it is difficult to reconcile those events in our life with the goodness of God. I know I’ve been there many times and fought my way through the confusion with frustration, anger and hurt. We’re joined today by my friend, Eric Hyde, who is a licensed therapist in the state of Oklahoma and practicing Orthodox Christian. We take a look at the book of Job and Ecclesiastes to try and make sense of these complex questions. While there aren't any straight-forward answers, there are a few conclusions we can make from these overlooked books of the Bible.

Growing up in church, I was taught what a successful Christian is supposed to look like. As I grew, I started to see how much I’ve failed at being that ideal image and I’m surprised that I met God, time and time again, in the most ugly, sinful and debase places. According to the standard I was raised with, I am a failed Christian. “The Failed Christian,” is a podcast that is intended to demonstrate the power of God’s grace, forgiveness and mercy, offered to everyone, without restraint. This podcast explores off-colored topics, typically shunned by the church, in order to demonstrate that God is with us, even in our pain, wrong-doing and humanity. We will explore topics and hear stories, in an honest and respectful way, about people who have made some f*cked-up decisions and fell into grace. www.thefailedchristian.com
