What do you do when you cannot understand why God allows something painful or confusing to happen? In this final episode of the week, Jay looks at Hebrews and the cross of Jesus to remind teens and young adults that when we cannot understand God’s ways, we can look to the cross and see that God entered into our suffering, understands our pain, and has already demonstrated His love through Jesus.
