In this episode of In Pursuit of Meaning, I sit down with minister and podcaster Paul Granger, who has spent the past two decades serving in various ministries. He currently works full-time with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and hosts the podcast Where Did You See God?, where he explores how people experience the divine in everyday life.
We dive deep into Paul's personal journey—how he was drawn to ministry, the challenges and revelations he's encountered, and the most profound lessons he's learned over nearly twenty years of service. We also engage in a raw and thought-provoking discussion about theology, the nature of God, and the problem of evil.
Some of the big questions we explore:
- What are the core tenets of Christianity?
- How does Paul reconcile God’s goodness with the existence of suffering?
- What does he believe about hell, the afterlife, and divine justice?
- If someone spends their life alleviating suffering but doesn’t believe in God, would they still be condemned?
In our scripture discussion, Paul shares passages that hold deep personal meaning, and I offer my own perspective, leading to an engaging back-and-forth on faith, doubt, and human purpose.
Paul is a genuinely wonderful human being, and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!
