When Does the Pain End?

Even for those of us that believe our challenges are a part of God's bigger story that ultimately leads to His glory, we still wonder when and if the pain will ever end. Rusty and Heather discuss the process of restoration, and the presence of pain through that process.

Why Did God Not Stop The Affair?

If God is good, and God is sovereign, why do bad things happen to good people? Rusty and Heather may not have all of the theological answers to that question, but they have wrestled with plenty of questions about their journey through infidelity. Where was God during that season? Why did He not stop Heather from making the choices that led to an affair? Why did He allow betrayal, pain, and destruction to a couple that professed to be followers of Him. Hear what Rusty and Heather learned about trusting God through their story of infidelity.
