    💬 Episode 8: "Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People" 🎙 Let’s Talk About It with Dr. Matthew & Alex Common In this episode, Dr. Matthew Webster is joined by special guest Alex Common as they tackle one of the most difficult yet deeply important questions: If God is good, why does He allow suffering, injustice, and evil? 🤔 We dive deep into the story of Job, exploring his immense loss and suffering despite his faithfulness to God. Through Job’s journey, we find important lessons about the nature of suffering, the role of Satan, and the hope of restoration through Jesus Christ. You’ll hear: 1️⃣ Why suffering happens—even for the faithful—and how God can use trials for our growth. 2️⃣ A powerful discussion on how to respond when life falls apart, drawing from the raw emotions Job expresses in his pain. 3️⃣ Insights into how our misunderstandings of God’s character can shape how we interpret suffering, and why blaming God is a natural but misguided instinct. 4️⃣ How abundant life isn’t the absence of struggle, but the depth of faith that emerges through hardship. 5️⃣ The importance of prayer, perseverance, and restoration, and how God promises to bring beauty from the ashes. We also tackle your listener questions and unpack the promise of restoration found in Job’s story and in our own lives, encouraging you that God is still with you, even in the hardest of times. 💡 Need more hope in your journey?

    💬 Episode 6: “The Role of Community in Spiritual Growth” 🎙 Let’s Talk About It with Dr. Matthew & Diane Webster We weren’t meant to walk the faith journey alone. 🙌 But in a world that often values independence, it's easy to overlook the power of community. What if the key to real spiritual growth isn't just individual devotion, but the relationships that challenge, support, and encourage us along the way? In this enlightening episode, Dr. Matthew and Diane Webster dive into the critical role of community in our spiritual lives.

You'll learn how to: 1️⃣ Identify the dangers of isolation and the spiritual cost of going it alone. 2️⃣ Embrace the power of community for growth, accountability, and encouragement. 3️⃣ Take practical steps to build connections with others who can spur you on in faith.

    S1E5: “Overcoming Fear: Faith Over Fear”

    💬 Episode 5: “Overcoming Fear: Faith Over Fear” 🎙 Let’s Talk About It with Dr. Matthew & Diane Webster Fear — we all face it. 😔 Sometimes it’s loud and obvious; other times, it hides beneath anxiety, control, or overthinking. But what if faith isn’t the absence of fear… but the decision to trust God in spite of it? In this powerful episode, Dr. Matthew and Diane Webster unpack the difference between fear (φόβος phobos) and faith (πίστις pistis) — revealing how both invite us to believe something about the future. One voice leads to panic, the other to peace. 🌊 Through Scripture, Greek word insights, and real-life application, the Websters explore what it means to cast your cares — not carry them — and how to trade the heavy weight of fear for the steady rest of faith. 🕊️ You’ll learn how to: 1️⃣ Recognize fear’s lies. 2️⃣ Replace them with God’s truth. 3️⃣ Release your burdens daily through trust and prayer. 💡 Whether fear has been whispering “you’re not enough” or shouting “it’s all falling apart,” this episode will remind you that God has already gone ahead of you — and He’s strong enough to carry what’s been weighing you down. ☕ If this conversation encourages you, consider supporting the show by buying us a coffee!
