Our Q&R podcast for the seeker and skeptic in all of us. It’s designed to foster a posture of curiosity about ourselves and others.

This month, we’re diving into one of the biggest and most difficult questions people ask about the Bible. And one of the most common objections we hear is about the character of God—especially in the Old Testament.

Many people wonder: Why does He seem so different from the God of the New Testament? Why do we see stories of war, judgment, and even what seems like divine anger? Does that make God unjust or even evil?

In this episode, we’ll explore the historical and cultural context of these difficult passages, how justice and mercy actually work together in God’s character, and why understanding the full story of Scripture changes how we see these moments.
