    Ep 18: Is it wrong to be angry at God? Pastor Panel Episode 5

    Episode 18 | Is It Wrong to Be Angry at God? The Hard Questions Series with Dr. Greg Batchelor and Pastor Trey Allison Have you ever been angry at God? Maybe it was after the loss of a loved one, a broken relationship, an unanswered prayer, or a season of suffering that seemed to make no sense. Many believers wrestle with feelings they're afraid to admit—even in church. But what does the Bible say about anger directed toward God? In Episode 18 of The Off Duty, On Mission Podcast, Dr. Greg Batchelor and Pastor Trey Allison tackle another difficult question in our Hard Questions series: Is it wrong to be angry at God? Through honest conversation and biblical truth, we explore the difference between rejecting God and bringing our raw emotions before Him. From Job's suffering to David's cries in the Psalms, Scripture reveals that God is not intimidated by our questions, doubts, fears, or frustrations. In fact, some of the most faithful people in the Bible wrestled deeply with God during their darkest moments. If you've ever felt hurt, disappointed, confused, or even angry with God, this episode will remind you that faith isn't the absence of hard emotions—it's choosing to bring those emotions to God rather than away from Him. God can handle your questions. He can handle your pain. And He can handle your anger. No matter what you're facing today, this conversation will encourage you to bring your honest heart before a loving and faithful God who meets us even in our struggles.
