Maybe you’ve grown up as a Christian going to church or maybe you’re not interested in religion at all. But when you’re scrolling, hanging out with friends, trying to sleep, or overwhelmed with your day-to-day, do big existential questions ever pop in- you know- things like, “Why am I here? How did all this get here? What happens after I die?” “Is there a God and is there really meaning to all this?” ”What’s so special about Jesus Christ?” We’ve all experienced deep longing for something this world can’t seem to satisfy. Even someone as wildly successful as Taylor Swift knows that to be true. “I had won album of the year at the Grammys for a second time...” She said, “and I remember thinking afterwards, ’Oh my god, that was all you wanted!... That was all you focused on. You get to the mountaintop and look around and you’re like... what now?” If you’re tired and feeling overwhelmed with all the different voices yelling for your affections- telling you what to go after- whether it be success, beauty, the perfect partner, social media followers, money, or power… only to leave you let down and unsatisfied, searching for more… Maybe like my friends and me, you’re after finding something REAL. Every week, join me (Janell Wood), special co-hosts and guests as we ask questions, look for answers, and search for the source of something REAL: Restoration, Eternity, Authenticity, and Love. I believe those things can ultimately be found in relationship with Jesus Christ, but don’t take my word for it. Listen to our conversations for yourself and go on a journey with us: Is Jesus the REAL thing?

Welcome to Season 6 of the Finding Something REAL Podcast! We are delighted to introduce Grayce, March’s co-host, to you today! Grayce shares about being raised in a loving Christian home, giving her life to Christ and being baptized, and seeing her mom as a wonderful model of faith. She also shares about a few things that made her feel as if church was not where she wanted to be and what has lead her to take a different approach to her faith.
We hope you enjoy the episode!
This month, we are going to address a few of Grayce’s questions including:
- Why does God allow people to suffer? Why would He allow it when He can end suffering?
- How can a loving God send people who have never heard of Him to hell? If we have free will, but don’t follow him, does that mean we will be eternally damned?
- What is God like? What was His role before creating the universe?
- How can we respond to church hurt?___________________
