Theology of Suffering

  • Keynote

  • November 13 2026 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Why does God allow suffering, and what is He doing through it? Whether you serve on the mission field, at a patient’s bedside, or in your own season of hardship, this session offers a Scripture-rooted framework for understanding pain in a broken world. Together with 5 panelists, we’ll explore where suffering comes from, how God remains sovereign and good through it all, and how He uses trials to shape us into the likeness of Christ. You’ll leave with a deeper confidence that suffering is never wasted, renewed strength to comfort others, and a hope anchored in the glory still to come. Join us and be encouraged to keep serving faithfully, even when the road is hard.
