Alanzo Paul examines the profound question of God and suffering from a Christian perspective, exploring how God could allow suffering in our world. Through a combination of philosophical analysis, theological reflection, and personal stories, he reflects on how faith can help us find deeper meaning in the midst of pain and hardship.

In this recording from the Confident Faith Conference, Alanzo seeks to offer hope and comfort to those grappling with life's most difficult challenges, emphasising the significance of Jesus Christ's resurrection and the promise of redemption amidst suffering.
