Have you ever found yourself asking questions about God? When we’re going through life trials or life is confusing, we tend to ask God questions such as “Where is God?” Maybe asking questions about God can feel uncomfortable, or even blasphemous, but the reality is that God created us to be curious beings. I invited author Lore Ferguson Wilbert to join us on the podcast to discuss how a real relationship with God allows room for God questions (including how to better understand God’s love for us) and provides opportunities to discover more of who He is and who we are in Him.

Don’t miss this conversation as Lori and I discuss some of the questions we ask about God, including those she mentions in her excellent book A Curious Faith, and how curiosity can strengthen our relationship with God.

  • [07:21] Navigating life’s challenges and staying connected to God through asking questions
  • [11:58] What keeps us from asking God questions?
  • [16:46] How asking God questions and owning emotions can move us closer to God 
  • [23:24] Finding hope and security when you’re surrounded by God questions 
  • [28:15] Resting in God’s love when we struggle with shame and questions about acceptance 
  • [36:15]  The power of asking God the question, “What do you want to say to me?” 
  • [38:37] Questions Lore is currently asking God
  • [40:44] How to open yourself up to curious questions to strengthen your relationship with God
