About this listen

Can God be good when life is not? Rediscover faith in the character, power, and presence of God. Even in the questions. Even in the hurt.

"I want to believe, I want to have hope, but...."

Pastor and best-selling author Craig Groeschel hears these words often and has asked them himself. We want to know God, feel his presence, and trust that he hears our prayers, but in the midst of great pain, we may wonder if he really cares about us. Even when we have both hope and hurt, sometimes it's the hurt that shouts the loudest.

In Hope in the Dark, Groeschel explores the story of the father who brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus, saying, "I believe! Help my unbelief!" In the man's sincere plea, Jesus heard the tension in the man's battle-scarred heart. He healed not only the boy but the father too, driving out the hopelessness that had overtaken him. He can do the same for us today.

As Groeschel shares his pain surrounding the health challenges of his daughter, he acknowledges the questions we may ask in our own deepest pain:

  • "Where was God when I was being abused?"
  • "Why was my child born with a disability?"
  • "Why did the cancer come back?"
  • "Why are all my friends married and I'm alone?"

He invites us to wrestle with such questions as we ask God to honor our faith and heal our unbelief. Because in the middle of your profound pain, you long for authentic words of understanding and hope. You long to know that even in overwhelming reality, you can still believe that God is good.

Hope in the Dark is also available in Spanish, Esperanza en la Oscuridad.

Just what I needed in a difficult season

my thanks to the ultimate author of my life who brought this book into my life just when I needed it most it has definitely given me hope in the dark that I will again see the Light of God’s love shining in my life and it has reminded me that just because I cannot see the light of God right now does not mean that it is not there if I but open my eyes I will be able to see abundant evidence of his love all around me Thank you God and thank you Craig Groschel for allowing God to use you to reach me and countless others may I one day soon be as willing and brave as you
