In this final episode of Season 3, we hear from a student as he reflects on the question, “Why am I still a Christian?”
Recently at UWA we had a blokes night, where students came along to hang out and spend time together, and three students shared a short reflection on why they are still a Christian. Today’s episode is a recording of one of those students, who we won’t name due to the sensitive nature of what he was willing to share with us.
He begins, “Why am I still a Christian? That’s a good question. In case you didn’t know, the world is messed up. Global disasters happen, relationships break down, people get sick and die… life often feels like it’s out of control. Another thing that is true is that God is sovereign, which means that God is in control of everything. He moves all the pieces on the board. If there is anyone who can do something about the state of the world, it is God. So when bad things happen, I find myself blaming God.”
For this student, this isn’t just an intellectual question. Two years ago a friend of his died unexpectedly. And then over the next two years, he has faced tragedy after tragedy. At one point he remarks, “It seems not a month has gone by since the death of my friend two years ago that some new drama or calamity befalls me.”
So through all of this, why is he still a Christian? Have a listen and find out.
