What do we do with a God who calls Himself "jealous," who allows suffering in the world, and who promises in His Word to judge everyone on earth? How does that reconcile with the image of God popular in evangelical churches - loving, forgiving, and shepherding us?

Longtime pastor and director of Open Doors Kurt Bruner explores who God is, how He works in our lives, and how we can see Him at work.
