Does God Work All Things Together for the Good? with N.T. Wright and Kate Bowler

Scripture can become a weapon in the hands of the ultra-certain. As if every pain or suffering is part of “God’s divine plan.” So how should we understand and apply the Bible to our real lives with our real-life problems?
NT Wright, a New Testament scholar, is a trusted expert to help us understand what truths resound across time and circumstance and which don’t. In this conversation, Kate and Tom dig in especially on Romans 8:28 which is the Pauline version of EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. Is that what Paul intended to say? Is there maybe another, more life-giving way to interpret it instead?
Kate and NT Wright also discuss:
* The importance of lament as a response to the human condition
* Why we have such a low tolerance for uncertainty
* Which scripture to turn to when life comes apart (and which to avoid)
* What our response should be to others who are in pain or experiencing tragedy
This is a bit of a Bible-nerd out, but I would trust no one else to help us better make sense of where is God when we’re suffering than NT Wright.

Dear Kate thank you so much for your(?..this) initiative to present short conversational clips on UTube …to the bennifit op a larger (global) “audience”
The combination of your friendly ( fresh) approach and the non clinical setup deem it to be more accessibility for the “average”
man on the street!!!
I also want to express my gratitude towards the “invisible” co-workers for this great initiative!!!!!!

Sorry, but I still don't understand the difference in the interpration of Rom 8:28...? What is the difference in God working 'with' us to turn everything for our good?? Thanks! X

Prof. N.T. Wright has given a great expository on this. See if this link can help you understand Romans 8:28 ua-cam.com/video/Ih_gQFgYrQA/v-deo.html
